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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[3] ... a deficiency decree may be entered upon motion or other appropriate pleading filed after confirmation of sale, and notice given to defendant, giving defendant an opportunity to be heard and to contest the motion. Garner v. Slack, 112 Fla. 553 , 150 So. 750 . In other words, the jurisdiction of equity to grant a deficiency decree must be invoked, either by express prayer in the bill, or by subsequent appropriate pleading or motion, upon which the defendant must be given notice and an opportunity to be heard; and if neither is done, the equity court should not adjudicate the question of a deficiency, but leave the complainant free to sue therefor at law if he so desires.”
