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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * * * * "While we are committed to the propositions that liberality will be indulged in the amendment of pleadings, Watkins v. Watkins, 123 Fla. 267 , 166 So. 577 , and a broad discretion will be accorded the trial judges in that respect, Mills Rock Company v. Mills, 137 Fla. 607 , 188 So. 210 , such amendments are not allowable if they `would change the issue, or introduce new issues, or materially vary the grounds of relief * * *.' Griffin v. Societe Anonyme la Floridienne J. Buttgenbach & Co., 53 Fla. 801 , 44 So. 342 , 351. (Emphasis added) "* * * In Griffin v. Societe Anonyme la Floridienne J. Buttgenbach & Co., supra, it was said that if the issues were changed or new ones introduced or the grounds of relief materially varied, the matter could not be introduced in an amendment. We referred to that part of this opinion in McCullough v. McCullough, 156 Fla. 321 , 23 So.2d 139, 140 , and further quoted from the opinion: `"`We have discovered no case which authorizes such an amendment inconsistent with the allegations of the original bill.'"' We there drew attention to holdings of other courts that the liberality to be indulged gradually diminishes as the trial progresses. "When we consider all these rules involving liberality, discretion, issues, and the circumstances in this particular controversy we cannot discover a just reason to disturb the finding of the chancellor." * * * * * *”
