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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have concluded that we were in error in the application of the general rule to the case at bar. “As argued by plaintiff in error in his motion for rehearing, there appears to be a well-established exception that in the leasing of rooms and apartments in buildings, a destruction of the building terminates the lease and with it the liability of the tenant for rents thereafter accruing. 16 R.C.L. § 469, and authorities cited; * * *. “The above authorities seem also to apply the exception in cases where the lease is for the improvements only and does not include the freehold.””
