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.
“"A partner may not purchase, for his own benefit, property of any kind in which the partnership is interested, nor lease property when the firm is entitled to the benefit of such lease, nor secure a valuable contract for himself which it was his duty to procure for the firm. If he does, he holds in trust for the benefit of the partnership the property so purchased or leased or the contract he has obtained and must account to the firm for the profits of the transaction, unless it appears that the co-partner consented to the transaction."”
