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.
“Because the inspector honestly believed that the building did not meet the condition of being free of defects of a substantial nature, the buyers’ decision to terminate the contract and secure their deposit was within the terms provided in the contract. See Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 227 comment c & illustration 5, § 228 comment b (1981) (when a contract leaves a determination of the satisfaction of a condition in the hands of an independent third party, there is no breach of the contract as long as the third party is honestly satisfied that the condition has not been met).”
