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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The evidence presented established that Ely conducted all of the business, provided all services, and profits earned were attributable to her labor rather than to the existence of office furniture. The business of property management in this case differs from businesses involving sale of goods and materials. In the latter case, an outgoing partner who has invested in inventory would be entitled to his proportionate share of any profits derived from their subsequent sale. In contrast, in a service business all that is sold to produce income are the services of the firm-here, the property management services of Ely. We conclude that it was not error for the trial Court to find that there were no post-dissolution profits attributable to the property rights of Weisbrod.”
