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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In our' view the alleged equitable garnishment was void. Cobb v. Walker, 144 Fla. 600 , 198 So. 324 , and Williams v. T. R. Sweat & Co., 103 Fla. 461 , 137 So. 698 , foreclose this question. These cases were disposed of on the theory that equitable garnishment contemplates a cause cognizable in equity and has no application to a mere legal claim. It cannot apply where the amount claimed is unliqui-dated, is in dispute, or is uncertain. It is likewise invalid as against a municipality. Tyler v. Akerman, 85 Fla. 485 , 96 So. 838 ; Armstrong Grocer Co. v. Smith-Alford Sign Service, Inc., 101 Fla. 668 , 132 So. 696 .” ******”
