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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Three chapters of the Florida Statutes control the power of eminent domain, being Chapters 73, 74 and 361, F.S.A. In addition to the power to condemn land provided in F.S. Chapters 73 and 74, F.S.A., a public works corporation is granted authority to enter upon adjacent lands and take therefrom material necessary for the construction and repair of its works and improvements, upon making due compensation according to law, under the following provisions of F.S., § 361.01, F.S.A.: “ ‘The president and directors of any corporation organized for the purpose of constructing, maintaining or operating public works, or their properly authorized agents, may enter upon any land, public or private, necessary to the business contemplated in the charter, and may appropriate the same, or may take from any land most convenient to their work, any timber, stone, earth or other material which may be necessary for the construction and the keeping in repair of its works and improvements upon making due compensation according to law to private owners.’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We note in passing that while the relief sought in the petition as to danger trees is confined to those 20 trees specifically designated and identified on the map attached thereto, the petitioner’s brief plainly implies that the license sought is meant to extend to trees which might grow to a dangerous height in the same general area in the future. We observe that if the petitioner expects to exercise a similar license as to other trees in the future based upon a judgment in the present case, the petition should be amended to show specifically the land area within which the license is to be exercised.””
