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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a contractor has in good faith made substantial performance of the terms of the contract, but there are some slight omissions or defects, which are readily remedied, so that an allowance therefor out of the contract price will give the other party, in substance, what he bargained for, the contractor may recover the contract price, less the damages on account of the omissions. But this rule of substantial compliance does not apply where the omissions or deviations from the terms of the contract or its performance are so substantial that an allowance out of the contract price would not give the owner. essentially what he contracted for,” — citing previous cases on that subject in this court. Anderson v. Pringle, 79 Minn. 433 , 82 N. W. 682 .”
