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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(tlhe alternate remedies [of breach of contract or in quantum meruit], although formerly limited by a strict election doctrine, may be pleaded in alternative form and may even be inserted by amendment late in the proceedings.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Under another provision of such agreement it is provided that from time to time during the progress of the architect’s work, payments should be made in such amounts that the architect shall have received 75% of the total compensation at the completion of the general working drawings and specifications. What the court below did was to compute the total compensation payable had the contract been fully performed. He then deducted from that amount 25%, since after abandonment of * * * the contract by the defendants, the supervisory work provided for in the contract would not have to be performed by the architect. A further deduction of one-eighth of the total compensation was made to compensate for the fact that further modification of the plans and specifications would not have to be made. Defendants assert that the record is devoid of evidence to support this last computation. It is true that no direct evidence was given with respect to such percentage deduction. However, in view of the plaintiffs uncontradicted, testimony with respect to the value of the services rendered, the appellants are in no position to complain about that specific deduction.” Parrish v. Tahtaras, 7 Utah 2d 87 , 318 P.2d 642, 645, 646 (1951).”
