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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The true rule is that the broker is entitled to his commissions if the purchaser presented by him and the vendor, his employer, enter into a valid, binding, and enforceable contract. If, after the making of such .a contract, even though executory in form, the purchaser declines to complete the sale, and the seller refuses to compel performance, the broker ought not to be deprived of his commissions.” [ 36 Okl. 563 , 129 P. 10 .]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““* * * That it is necessary for the broker either to effectuate a sale, or where the seller declines to proceed, to present him with a written agreement, signed by the purchasers, Which would become enforceable when signed by the seller and take the negotiations for sale out of ihe statute of frauds.””
