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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Nor was it claimed by defendant, that plaintiffs had any knowledge of an infirmity of title when they agreed with defendant as to the amount of their commission in case of sale, or when they found and produced the customer; so that, conceding the contract to have been as defendant claims, the plaintiffs, having no knowledge of any defect in the title, were not obliged to wait for the amount due as their compensation until defendant’s title was perfected.””
