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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘[T]he recovery of anticipated profits of a commercial business is ... too remote, speculative, and too dependent upon changing circumstances to warrant a judgment for their recovery.’ [Orchard’ Container Corp. v. Orchard, 601 S.W.2d 299, 305 (Mo.App.1980.] However, in Orchard , the court pointed out, that ‘an exception to this rule exists where anticipated profits are “made reasonably certain by proof of actual facts, with present data for rational estimate of their amount; ...” and where “proof of the income and expenses of the business for a reasonable time anterior to its interruption, with a consequent establishing of the net profits during the previous period is shown.” ’”
