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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is evidence that Ware required Paxton to take such credit insurance as a prerequisite to the loans made in connection therewith and that Paxton was given no option in the selection of the insurance company which issued the policies. Ware was an agent for the company in which the insurance was placed and was permitted to keep and did keep approximately 84% or 85% of the premiums on such policies. Under such circumstances the court did not err in finding and in holding the charges made by Ware for such insurance to be improper and usurious interest charges. * * * ””
