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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the existence of the relationship [joint venture] is in issue, and there is substantial evidence tending to prove that the parties intended to join their efforts in furtherance of the enterprise for their joint profit, the question is pre-eminently one for a jury.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A different question would be presented if the plaintiff were seeking to recover an interest in the lands which had been acquired in the course of the joint enterprise instead of his share of profits which have arisen from the sale of them. Even though the contract be one which is in contravention of the statute, yet, when the transactions affecting the interests in the land have been completed, so that the court need not enforce anything with reference to the land itself, it has been held that the rights of the parties resulting from their dealings may be enforced.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Redland v. Redland““It is true that it is not necessary that there should be a specific formal agreement to enter into a joint enterprise, or that the interests of the parties should be definitely settled in such agreement, or that there should be a formal agreement as to sharing in the profits. If there be a joint enterprise proven, either by direct evidence of a mutual agreement to that end or by proof of facts and circumstances from which it is made to appear that such enterprise was in fact entered into, the law fixes their rights. ’ ’”
