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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Equity will enforce a contract for liquidated damages if such liquidated damages can be found to be reasonable and proper in the light of the circumstances of the case.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Damages for breach . . . may be liquidated . . . but only at an amount which is reasonable in the light of the anticipated or actual harm caused by the breach, the difficulties of proof of loss, and the inconvenience or nonfeasability of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. A term fixing unreasonably large liquidated damages is void as a penalty.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In the event that the purchaser fails to comply within the time specified, the seller shall have the right to declare the $75,000 of the deposit, ipso facto forfeited as liquidated damages without formality beyond tender of title to the purchaser; or the seller may demand specific performance.”
