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.
“Where the jury finds substantial performance, a further finding that the work was not performed in a good and workmanlike manner does not, in our opinion, prevent a recovery on the contract. In these circumstances, the measure of damages is the contract price less the amount necessary to compensate for the deficiency.”
