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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] damage award must be referenced to some fairly defined standard, such as cost of repair, market value, established experience, rental value, loss of use, loss of profits or direct inference from known circumstances.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“For a cause in fact to be a legal cause, it must have been a substantial factor in bringing about the harm. While there may be other contributing causes and more than one factor operating, the trier of fact may determine that one cause 'predominates over another in bringing about the harm.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The test of causation in common law contract actions is not whether the breach was the only cause, but whether the breach was a substantial factor in bringing about the harm.”
