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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`Where . . . the jury verdict cannot be justified upon any reasonable hypothesis presented by the evidence, it ought to be set aside upon proper proceedings as being the result of compromise or mistake, for neither the court nor jury have the right to arbitrate or compromise differences between the parties. . . .' Donavan v. Fandrich , 265 Ala. 439 , 440 , 92 So.2d 1 , 2 (1957).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The jury's verdict of $4,000.00 in light of uncontradicted testimony that the car was worth $4,500.00 is unsupported by the evidence and must be set aside. Farmers Ginners Cotton Oil, supra."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"In Farmers Ginners Cotton Oil v. Reliance Ins. , 341 So.2d 147 (Ala. 1976), we quoted from Mr. Justice Coleman's opinion in State v. Crawford , 277 Ala. 568 , 173 So.2d 109 (1965), as follows: "`"In deciding this case, we are not unmindful of the rule that evidence of value is necessarily opinion evidence, and that it is not conclusive on courts and juries, even when without conflict. Dean v. County Board of Education , 210 Ala. 256 , 97 So. 741 [1923]; State v. Hunter , 270 Ala. 57 , 116 So.2d 383 [1959]. In this connection, however, there is also the rule that there is no `absolute' or `unrestricted' right in the trier of facts to disregard evidence of witnesses declared competent by the statute, § 367, Title 7 [Code 1940], whether expert or not. Such evidence is not conclusive, as of course, but is to be considered like other evidence in connection with all the facts and circumstances and in the light of the knowledge and experience of the jury in finding the true value. O'Neill v. City of Birmingham , 221 Ala. 580 , 130 So. 87 [1930]."' 341 So.2d at 148 ."”
