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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““What is known in the civil law as redhibition, and in our law as rescission of the contract, or dissolution of the proposed sale, takes place, and the buyer and seller are restored to their original position—the law vesting the buyer with a right to a return of any money which he may have paid upon the contract, and to a legal remedy to enforce the return of it, by an action against the seller as for money had and received. “As an action for money had and received, the justice’s court in which the complaint was filed had jurisdiction.””
