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.
““An action at law lies for damages for breach of a contract to form a partnership or enter into a firm, or to admit, or procure the admittance of, the plaintiff into a firm; for in such ease partnership accounts have not been created or business transacted. And the same rule would apply if there is an actual partnership in praesenti formed, but the defendant refuses to permit the business to be launched, and excludes the plaintiff from participation from the beginning, so that no joint business has been transacted.” 2 Bates on Partnership, § 870; Vance v. Blair, 18 Ohio, 532 , 51 Am. Dec. 467 ; Prince v. Lamb, 128 Cal. 120 , 60 Pac. 689 ; Goldsmith v. Sachs (C. C.) 17 Fed. 726 ; Meagher v. Reed, 14 Colo. 335 , 24 Pac. 681 , 9 L. R.
