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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It should be noted that, since the repeal of § 95.01, Fla. Stat., by Ch. 29737, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1955, F.S.A., the provisions of Rule 1.2, Fla.Rules Civ.Proc., are controlling, so that the statute of limitations is tolled by the filing of the complaint in a civil action."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the return is regular on its face, it serves “as a virtual basis for the Court to assume that it has lawfully obtained jurisdiction over the person of the defendant,” [Rorick v. Stilwell, 101 Fla. 4 , 133 So. 609, 610 (1931) ], for the purpose of entering judgment by default against such defendant. If, however, the return is defective on its face, it “cannot be relied upon as evidence that the court acquired jurisdiction over the person of the defendant to whom said subpoena was directed,” [Gibbens v. Pickett, 31 Fla. 147 , 12 So. 17 , 18 (1893) ], so that a decree pro confesso entered upon the basis of such a return should be set aside. [See Standley v. Arnow, 13 Fla. 361 (Fla.1869) ].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"* * * [I]n the case of a defendant who remains within the jurisdiction of the court and amenable to personal service, or one who has left the state but is, by statute, amenable to substituted personal service (as was the defendant in the instant case under § 47.29 (1), Fla. Stat., F.S.A.) it would seem to be the safer and better procedure to proceed anew to obtain personal service on the defendant. * * *" Klosenski, supra, at 770 .”
