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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 75-2-715(2)(a) defines consequential damages as follows: "any loss resulting from general or particular requirements and needs of which the seller at the time of contracting had reason to know and which could not reasonably be prevented by cover or otherwise... ." This section has been interpreted to allow a plaintiff to recover lost profits if the seller had reasons to know at the time of contracting that if he breached the contract, the plaintiff would be deprived of those profits. The subsection also imposes two restrictions in addition to foreseeability. The damages must be reasonably ascertainable and the plaintiff cannot recover for losses he reasonably could have prevented.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[W]e do not consider rejected jury instructions in a vacuum. That the rejected instruction may state a sound principle of law ... does not mean its refusal was error. Rather, we look at all the instructions given. We consider the court's total charge to the jury. If the point encompassed by the rejected instruction was fairly included in other instructions given the jury, reversal is not required.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Such damages must be measurable in monetary terms and must be reasonably certain. They may not be established by speculation or conjecture.”
