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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]bsent unfairness which shocks the conscience of the court, the appellees are entitled to enforce the contract as written.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“because the equitable circumstances surrounding this case precluded defendant from exercising his right to terminate the contract. ... ... Under these circumstances, to permit defendant to terminate the contract, gain title to the property, and retain all payments made, would result in an "unfairness which shocks the conscience of the court."”
