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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “a. [Payment of the] principal balance due on the contract, plus interest thereon to and including November 21, 1969, in the sum of $6,016.80. No interest is due Defendant from and after November 21, 1969. The tender by Plaintiff was a continuing tender, has been continuously refused by Defendant, and was sufficient to stop interest accruing from and after the refusal of the tender. b. Repayment of sums expended by Defendant for payment of insurance premiums which were the obligation of Plaintiff to pay, in the sum of $487.25, plus interest thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum from the date of payment by Defendant until the date of tender of repayment by Plaintiff. c. Repayment of real property taxes for the years 1969 and 1970, paid by Defendant, plus interest thereon at the rate of six per cent per annum from the date of payment by Defendant until the date of tender of repayment by Plaintiff.”
