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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[ Cutler Gate and Monsalvatge ] cannot be interpreted to lay down the per se rule that irrespective of whatever contractual damage provision the parties have agreed upon, only rentals in default [can be] recovered. Such a rule would not only conflict with the right of contracting parties to obligate themselves as they wish, but it would also be inconsonant with sound reason. Under so absolute a rule, lessees could breach lease agreements with impunity knowing that they would be liable only for the payments in default, and lessors on the other hand would never know when the property would be returned and in what condition. Such intolerable conditions would so seriously impair the commercial viability and efficacy of lease transactions that they would forestall or inhibit the negotiation of commercially valuable lease agreements." 464 F.2d at 270 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"The percentage remained inflexible throughout the years of the lease and in no part served as a reasonable forecast of just compensation, which is the hallmark for legal damages under Florida Law. Pembroke v. Caudill, 160 Fla. 948 , 37 So.2d 538 , 6 A.L.R.2d 1395 (1948); Hungerford Const. Co. v. Florida Citrus Exposition, 410 F.2d 1229 (5 Cir.), cert. denied 396 U.S. 928 , 90 S.Ct. 263 , 24 L.Ed.2d 226 (1969); 1 Restatement of Contracts § 339(1) (1932). For example, consider how unconscionable such a flat exaction would be in the latter months of the lease." (Emphasis theirs)”
