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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The sole issue in the suit was whether the changed assessment of plaintiffs’ property was for the purpose of correcting a mistake of omission and/or commission in making the original assessment, or whether it was brought about by a change in judgment on the part of the taxing authorities as to such original valuation. If the former, the assessment change was valid and permissible; if the latter, the change in assessment was invalid and impermissible. “Both the statute law and the applicable Florida cases draw a distinction, as to legal effect, between the two contrasting reasons aforesaid for changing the assessment.””
