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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Book value] is the value shown by the books of the business and no other value. It means the value that is arrived at by taking the total value of the assets as shown by its books and deducting therefrom the total liabilities. A proper set of books is a set that is kept either in compliance with the accounting procedures that are spelled out in the agreement of the parties; or, as may be subsequently agreed to by the parties; or, in the absence of any such agreement, as may be prescribed by generally accepted accounting and bookkeeping principles.”
