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 73 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[cjonsideration” simply means that the agreement has imposed a mutuality of obligation upon the parties. A promise between two parties may constitute sufficient consideration. However, a promise must be binding to support another promise as consideration. Under the circumstances here, there must be corresponding duties: Schoeller to sell and Paper Corporation to buy. Promises will not support each other as consideration unless they impose a legal obligation on both parties. The mutual obligations, or promises, of the parties do not necessarily have to be expressly set forth in an agreement, but may be implied by the duty of good faith that is implied in any agreement. The boundaries of the duty of good faith are defined by the parties’ intentions and reasonable expectations in entering into the agreement and preclude each party from engaging in conduct that will deprive the other of the benefits of their agreement.”
