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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]his Option Agreement is conditioned upon the true and full performance of all of the Lessee’s obligations under the terms and conditions of that Lease Agreement. Should [lessee] default or otherwise be in violation or breach of any of the terms and conditions of that Lease Agreement, then, at Optionor’s election, this Option Agreement shall lapse and be null and void for all purposes.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The right to terminate the grant of the option ... is not self-executing. The grant of the option does not self-destruct even though the lease terms are breach ed; before the option lapses, ... the optionors, must have elected to terminate the option and agreement and declare it null and void for all practical purposes.”
