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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While, in taking partnership accounts, the question whether interest should be allowed or disallowed depends to a large extent upon the circumstances of the particular case, and no unbending rule can be laid down which will not in individual cases work great injustice, it may be said that, ordinarily in the settlement of partnership accounts, interest should not be allowed until after a balance is struck on a settlement between the partners, unless there is a different agreement between them, or unless, under the peculiar facts and circumstances, the equities demand that interest be charged.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Martin v. Tolson““After a co-partnership has been dissolved for such a length of time, and neither partner has taken any steps to bring about a settlement, for more than six years after the last known co-partnership transaction, it has been long and well settled, that the right to have an account and settlement of the co-partnership dealings is barred.””
