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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In considering this contention” (that the amount of recovery was too large) “we must assume that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the court in finding appellants were in default in paying the installments due, that they had thereby forfeited their rights under said contract, and that appellees were entitled to recover damages in some amount. So in determining whether or not the amount of recovery is too large, we proceed upon the theory that the contract was forfeited by reason of appellants’ default. Under such a condition appellants’ possession of the property after such default was a wrongful and unlawful detention and the measure of appellees’ damages for such unlawful detention is the rental value of the property during the time of such unlawful detention.””
