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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Where the contract of the deceased is • of an executory nature, and the personal representative can fairly and sufficiently execute all the deceased could have done, he may d-o so and enforce the contract.’ Pars. Cont. 131. E converso, the personal representative is bound to complete such a contract, and, if he does not, may be made to pay damages out of the assets. Siboni v. Kirkman, 1 Mees. & W. 418.””
