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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Appellee's contention that the allegations of the complaint in the case sub judice reveal that plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law cannot be sustained. Even if such facts appeared from the allegations of the complaint, such contributory negligence would be a defense which could only be asserted by defendant in a proper pleading to be filed by her, and not as a ground for a motion to dismiss the complaint." 192 So.2d at page 329 .”
