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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“According to the logic of Atkinson , if [the contractor] proves the cost of remedying one or more defects asserted by the owner, the dilemma still exists because the court or jury may find another defect raised by the evidence, but concerning which the amount of the owner’s damage has not been shown. All an owner needs to do in order to establish a defense to the contractor’s entire claim, while retaining the benefit of the contractor’s work, is to raise a fact issue concerning any defect, no matter how slight in relation to the total of the work performed.”
