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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]t has long been the rule in Alabama that delay in the presentation of claims such as the one in the instant case creates a presumption against the validity of the claim, particularly when the claim is not presented during the lifetime of the alleged debtor.... [T]he presumption against an implied contract is especially applicable when the work is originally begun voluntarily.””
