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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We agree with the District Court’s determination that we repudiated and receded from the Hancock rule in Scarlett v. Frederick, 1941, 147 Fla. 407 , 3 So.2d 165 , Dudemaine v. Shaw, 1944, 153 Fla. 899 , 16 So.2d 114 , and May v. State, Fla. 1957, 96 So.2d 126 . The existing rule on this point of law was correctly restated by the District Court when it said: ‘F.S. § 45.19, F.S.A., is not self-executing hut requires the moving party to seek dismissal before any affirmative action in the prosecution of the cause is taken subsequent to the required period for abatement.’ 110 So.2d 474, 477 .””
