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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff contends the finding, and the conclusion based thereon, is erroneous because the contract was for “... the purchase and sale of a ... plumbing contracting business ...,” and the agreement to hire plaintiff was a part of the purchase and sale. The contract could properly be construed as plaintiff contends. The contention, however, is not material.”
