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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If you determine that plaintiff is entitled to damages, you are to determine the amount of money which will fairly and adequately compensate the plaintiff for the damage incurred by the plaintiff. Damages for fraud or misrepresentation are limited to the out-of-pocket loss sustained by the plaintiff. That amount is the difference between the actual value of the property and the price paid for it, together with such other damages as were naturally and proximately caused by the fraud before the discovery of the fraud or misrepresentation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“* * * the rule is, and always has been, that in actions of deceit, or for fraudulent representations, the damages recoverable are all those which naturally and proximately result from the fraud. Courts may have sometimes failed to use strictly accurate terms in stating the rule, and may have sometimes failed to apply it correctly to particular facts, but no court has ever questioned the rule itself.”
