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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The contract was signed by the party to be charged, which satisfies the statute of frauds. (Becker v. Mason, 30 Kan. 697 ; Guthrie v. Anderson, 47 Kan. 383, 386 ; Guthrie v. Anderson, 49 Kan. 416, 419 .) It was not essential that the contract should be capable of enforcement against both parties at the time it was concluded (Zelleken v. Lynch, 80 Kan. 746 ), and want of mutuality because both parties did not sign is not available as a defense to a suit for specific performance brought against the party who did sign.” (p. 547.)”
