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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]o entitle a complainant to [reformation of a contract], the proof must be clear, exact and convincing that the intention and agreement [the complainant] would have substituted in the instrument was, in fact, that of both parties thereto. If the proof is uncertain in any material respect, relief will be denied. Kelley v. Spencer , 213 Ala. 612 , 105 So. 802 [(1925)]; Lipham v. Shamblee , 205 Ala. 498 , 88 So. 569 [(1921)]."”
