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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Even though the court found that no partnership existed between the parties, in our opinion it properly allowed plaintiff to recover for those goods and services which benefited defendant .... The mere ineffectiveness of a partnership agreement between the parties would not prevent plaintiff’s recovery.” 25 N.C. App. at 652 , 214 S.E. 2d at 241 .”
