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 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““20. You are instructed that the principal has a right to believe that the broker is acting for his best interests. The principal is not required to rely on his own judgment when he has employed a broker instead in order to ascertain information and that he might have the benefit of the broker’s judgment. “21. You are instructed that a real estate broker occupies a fiduciary relation to the owner or principal he represents in a sale of -property and owes full fidelity in the service he undertakes. The law requires the broker to act with the utmost good faith toward his principal, and he is under a legal obligation to disclose to his principal all facts within his knowledge which are or may be material to the matter in which he is employed or which might influence the action of his principal in relation thereto.””
