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.
““Where a party in an equity proceeding is entitled to a jury trial as a matter of right, the verdict of the jury is binding on the court. The chancellor must enter a decree accordingly unless the verdict is vacated or set aside within the time and in the manner provided by law. Lewis v. Martin, 210 Ala. 401 , 98 So. 635 . The time for attacking the verdict is before entry of the final decree. Belk v. Belk, 275 Ala. 173 , 153 So.2d 250 ; Ex parte Howard, 225 Ala. 106 , 142 So. 403 . The proceeding and trial by jury as a matter of right is not an independent trial, but a part of the equitable proceeding. Ex parte King, 230 Ala. 529 , 162 So. 275 ; Owens v. Washington, 260 Ala. 198 , 69 So.2d 694 . * * *””
