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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Like other agents in whom trust and confidence are reposed, the broker owes to his principal the utmost good faith and loyalty to his interests.*** It is his duty, therefore, to fully and freely disclose to his principal at all times the fact of any interest of his own or of another client which may be antagonistic to the interests of his principal, and he will not be permitted to take advantage of the situation to make gain for himself by forestalling or undermining his principal.’ ””
