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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he plaintiffs undertook to prove the fair price of the work they performed, rather than how much the value of the building was increased____ There was no evidence of any amount or amounts by which the value of the building was increased.... [I]t seems likely that ... [the labor and materials that plaintiffs provided] resulted in some increase in value.... However, on the present record the dollar value of any such economic benefit ... [is] wholly speculative.”
