Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" '[T]hat in the absence of stipulations to the contrary, every contract for the sale of real estate implies that a good title will be made.' " (Citations omitted.) " 'This applies to an executory contract for the purchase and sale of real estate and is given by law, and exists until the contract has been performed by the execution of a deed. When that is done the purchaser must rely on the warranty in his deed; and if there is none, the rule of caveat emptor applies.' " [ 243 Ala. at 283 , 9 So.2d at 889.]”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““But while an election to accept and exercise the option is necessary so as to bind the holder of it, and so as to make it mutually binding, the act of filing a bill [for specific performance] declaring such acceptance and election is sufficient, since he [the lessee] thereby places himself under all the obligations of the contract.””
