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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Let us now recapitulate the implied obligations of the lessee with respect to development as set forth in the foregoing eases. Those obligations are: (1) where delay rental is provided in the lease, to commence or increase development after notice and demand; (2) where no delay rental is provided, to begin or continue operations within a reasonable time; (3) where productive operation has been commenced, to continue that operation____ There is consequently no authority for adjudging that a lessee ... has an implied obligation to begin operations on a particular part of the leasehold ... without notice and demand from the lessor to so proceed____ Under Kentucky law, as we have said, this obligation (obligation to develop) does not exist independently of notice.”
