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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded with directions to award defendants a decree of specific performance upon their tender into court of their obligations under the contract for deed: full payment of the balance due on the purchase price with interest at the contract rate; the taxes paid by plaintiffs with interest according to the contract to the date of entry of the decree; less the cost of the title insurance policy provided by plaintiffs; and to enter judgment against plaintiffs and in favor of defendants upon all of plaintiffs’ claims.””
