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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A notice of forfeiture is a declaration that the seller is no longer just threatening to invoke his contractual remedy, but has in fact elected the forfeiture option ... and has thereby terminated the buyers’ contractual interests.... By definition, it does not give buyers the option of performance, ... as a notice of default must. A notice of forfeiture leaves no room for speculation about the extinguishment of the buyers’ rights in the contract.”
