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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule [referring to Rule 1.13(j) now Rule 1.170(j), RCP, which is the counterpart to Rule 7.100(d), RSP] taken literally is mandatory rather than directional only. But the rule should not be given literal application in an anomalous situation where to do so would lead to impracticality. . . . Another exception engrafted upon the rule pertaining to transfer of the cause of action is that such counterclaim will not act to divest the court of a specific statutory proceeding of which the original court has exclusive jurisdiction. (Emphasis supplied.)”
