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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The discretion to grant (or deny) deficiency decrees in mortgage foreclosure suits, provided for by statute (Sec. 702.06, Fla. Stat., F.S.A.), is not absolute and unbridled but is a `sound judicial discretion', Carlson v. Becker, Fla. 1950, 45 So.2d 116 . The exercise of such discretion in denial of a deficiency decree must be supported by disclosed equitable considerations which constitute sound and sufficient reasons for such action. Scheneman v. Barnett, Fla. 1951, 53 So.2d 641 ; Kissling v. McCarthy, Fla.App. 1958, 100 So.2d 434 ; Kurkjian v. Fish Carburetor Corporation, Fla.App. 1962, 145 So.2d 523 ; Colmes v. Hoco, Inc. of Dade County, Fla.App. 1963, 152 So.2d 524 . Therefore, the determinative question here is whether the chancellor abused discretion in denying the mortgagees' motion for a deficiency decree.”
