Most-quoted passages

““The rule laid down in Green v. General Pet. Corp., 205 Cal. 328, 336 [ 270 P. 952 , 60 A.L.R. 475 ], is that if the cost of repairing the injury and restoring the premises to their original condition amounts to less than the value of the property prior to the injury, such cost is the proper measure of damages; and if the cost of restoration will exceed such value then the value of the property is the proper measure. ’ ’”
