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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the absence of a retention of benefits ■with knowledge of the fraud the principal can be held [liable] for the agent’s fraud only if perpetrated while acting within the course and scope of the agent’s authority. It is not sufficient to impose liability upon the principal that the principal might have benefited by the agent’s wrongful and unauthorized act.”
