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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendants’ primary contention is that the district court erred in concluding that Neb.Rev.Stat. § 36-107, which requires that sales agreements between real estate brokers and owners be in writing, did not bar plaintiffs from recovering the remaining balance of the commission. In reaching this conclusion, the court reasoned that this statute, an extension of the statute of frauds, see Svoboda v. DeWald, 169 Neb. 594 , 68 N.W.2d 178 (1955), would not operate to preclude recovery because plaintiffs had fully performed under the oral agreement, and that principles of equity and fairness required that the statute “not be allowed to shield defendants against plaintiffs’ legitimate claim for services which were honestly rendered.” Our review convinces us that the district court’s conclusion was correct, and we affirm the judgment in favor of the plaintiffs on the basis of the court’s well-reasoned opinion.”
