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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is not enough that both parties are mistaken about any fact; rather, the mistaken fact complained of must be one that is 'of the essence of the agreement, the sine gua non, or, as is sometimes said, the efficient cause of the agreement, and must be such that it animates and controls the conduct of the parties'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[where both parties share a common assumption about a vital fact upon which they based their bargain, and that assumption is false, the transaction may be avoided if because of the mistake a quite different exchange of values occurs from the exchange of values contemplated by the parties.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“we note that with respect to land descriptions, this court has held that the order of preference for the location of boundaries is in de-sceending order as follows: natural objects or land marks, artificial monuments, adjacent boundaries, courses and distances, and lastly quantity.”
