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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘A contract, express or implied, is essential to the formation of a partnership.’ . . . ‘Partnership is a legal concept but the determination of the existence or not of a partnership . . . involves inferences drawn from an analysis of “all the circumstances attendant on its creation and operation,” . . . .’ Not only may a partnership be formed orally, but ‘it may be created by the agreement or conduct of the parties, either express or implied,’ .... ‘A voluntary association of partners may be shown without proving an express agreement to form a partnership; and a finding of its existence may be based upon a rational consideration of the acts and declarations of the parties, warranting the inference that the parties understood that they were partners and acted as such.’ . . . Where the fact at issue is the existence of partnership the admissions against interest of the person denying the partnership are significant in establishing it.”
