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 integrated contract is an agreement where “ ‘the parties thereto adopt a writing or writings as the final and complete expression of the agreement.’ ” If a contract is determined to be integrated, the parol evidence rule “excludes evidence of terms in addition to those found in the agreement.” “If the contract is in writing and the language is not ambiguous, the intention of the parties must be determined from the words of the agreement.” “Ambiguous” in this context means that the terms of the contract are “capable of more than one reasonable interpretation because of ‘uncertain meanings of terms, missing terms, or other facial deficiencies.’ ””
