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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is settled law in this state that specific performance of a contract is not available to a party as a matter of right, but rests in the sound discretion of the chan cellor under the facts appearing in the particular case. Where specific performance is decreed, certain fundamental and indispensable conditions must be shown to exist. ‘The contract must be clear, definite, complete and free from any suspicion of fraud or unfairness.’”
