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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Massachusetts law recognizes that actions taken in reliance upon a material misrepresentation may estop a party from raising a statute of frauds defense. G.L.c. 259, §1, does not, as a matter of law, bar enforcement of... an oral contract inasmuch as the employee reasonably relied to his detriment. Nor absent contrary authority ... , is the estoppel doctrine inapplicable to the statute of frauds contained in Section 8-319.”
