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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"(5-7) An examination of the motion and affidavits submitted by the respondent as a basis for the motion to vacate the final judgment reveals a contention by her that she did not receive notice of the trial of the cause upon the issue of damages. The damages sought by the complaint were unliquidated. After the entry of default upon a complaint claiming unliquidated damages the cause must be set either upon a trial calendar and the issue of damages tried in its regular order, or the defendant must be given reasonable notice of the trial of the issue upon a special setting. Moore v. Boyd, Fla. 1952, 62 So.2d 427 ; Pan American World Airways, Inc. v. Gregory, Fla. App. 1957, 96 So.2d 669 . Although the contention by the defendant, as supported by her affidavits, that she did not receive notice was controverted by the plaintiff, we conclude that the trial judge could have found from the record before him that the required notice was not given. This conclusion having been reached upon the matter before him the judge had jurisdiction to vacate the judgment. Cf. Ender v. Mercer, 150 Fla. 292 , 7 So.2d 340 ."”
