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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'A contract is unilateral when one party who makes a promise has received a consideration other than a promise to make the contract binding[,] [and] [a] unilateral contract is ... defined as one in which there is a promise on one side only, the consideration therefor being an Act[;] ... After the act upon which the promise is based is performed, a valid contract comes into existence.'”
