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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant is correct in his assertion that, generally, an agent who contracts in the name of his principal without authority, so that the principal is not bound, may be personally liable to the other contracting party. See Lasater v. Crutchfield, 92 Ark. 535, 538 , 123 S.W 394, 395 (1909). In such cases, the law may imply a contract between the injured party and the agent upon the agent’s implied warranty of his authority. Dale v. Donaldson Lumber Co., 48 Ark. 188, 192 , 2 S.W. 703 , 704 (1886).”
