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.
“[o]pen account is defined as an unsettled debt arising from items of work and labor, goods sold and delivered, and other open transactions not reduced to writing and subject to future settlement and adjustment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“to establish an open account: (1) an account based upon running or concurrent dealings; (2) ... dealings [that] have not been closed, settled or stated; [and] (3) some term of the contract remains to be settled between the parties, or the agreement contemplates further transactions between the parties.”
