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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"When work demanded by the terms of the original contract has been omitted, the final completion of the structure dates- from the time such omissions are supplied by the builder at the request of the owner, although in the meantime the latter may have taken possession of the property, and that, while there is anything to do which it is the duty oi the builder to perform under the terms of the contract, the work upon which he is engaged is not completed until this obligation is accomplished.””
