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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An involuntary dismissal of a cause of action by order of court under Rule 1.420(b), 30 F.S.A., Rules of Civil Procedure, for failure of a plaintiff to comply with a mandatory order of the court operates as an adjudication on the merits of the action and is a bar to any subsequent suit brought on the same cause of action. It has been repeatedly held, however, that this principle of law is not applicable in instances where a cause of action is dismissed pursuant to Rule 1.420(e), Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to prosecute the action within the time required.”
