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.
““The question to be determined is whether a verbal leasing of the premises ‘for the duration of the war and until automobiles are again produced’ and ‘until defendant receives twenty-five automobiles in any one month’ creates a leasehold estate for a term of years, or whether it is void for uncertainty of the term and, therefore, gives only an estate at will.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““For every such estate must have a certain beginning and a certain end. But id certum est, quod certum reddi potest (that is certain which can be made certain).” (Cooley’s Blackstone, 4th Ed., p. 546.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“* * * It is not the certainty of the happening of the event [which is to end the term] but the certainty of the date on which the termination of the lease will take place that is the determinative factor.”
