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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * depositions taken when the information could have been obtained in some other less burdensome or expensive way, ordinarily will not be considered necessary. * * * The burden is on the prevailing party to show both that the depositions and copies were necessary to the conduct of the litigation and that they were effectively and pertinently used by the prevailing party.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“whether the agreement is a contract for the conveyance of real estate or any interest therein. This means a contract where both parties are bound by its terms. * * * And ordinarily it must be a contract where * * * either party can require performance by the other. In other words, the agreement must be sufficiently certain and complete in its essential terms that ordinarily specific performance will lie. * * * [W]hen the parties have left open an essential term for further negotiations, the court declines to make a contract for the parties and specific performance will not lie. * * * [T]he inquiry is whether a term essential to the final bargain is left open for further negotiations or is dependent on a contingency.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a default occurs in the conditions of a contract for the conveyance of real estate or an interest in the real estate that gives the seller a right to terminate it, the seller may terminate the contract by serving upon the purchaser * * * a notice specifying the conditions in which default has been made.”
