These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The intention and understanding of the parties at the time of making the contract will determine whether the contract is a conditional contract and whether the condition, if such it be, is a condition precedent or a condition subsequent.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A conditional contract is a contract the very existence and performance of which depends upon the happening of some contingency or condition expressly stated therein.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“if the breach of the agreement pertains to the validity of the instrument or is a ground for forfeiture, it is a condition, while if the remedy for breach is an action at law for damages the agreement is a covenant.”
