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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he sellers indicated to [the purchaser's father] that the automobile had been `smacked' in the front end. When the sellers revealed that the automobile had been wrecked, they were under an obligation to make a full and fair disclosure, without suppressing or concealing any material facts of which they had knowledge. Jackson Co. v. Faulkner , 55 Ala.App. 354 , 315 So.2d 591 (Ala.Civ.App. 1975). In this case the sellers made a partial disclosure, which concealed material facts. Therefore, the statements made by the sellers were only a half-truth and, thus, were a misrepresentation of the facts. When the sellers willfully concealed certain material facts, which led Murphy, and ultimately the buyer, to believe that the history of the automobile was different from what it actually was, the sellers were guilty of a fraudulent concealment. Jackson Co. , 55 Ala.App. 354 , 315 So.2d 591 ."”
