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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Appellant suggests that we construe ‘title transaction’ to require the description of the land it purports to affect and that this would be consistent with the provisions of Sections 712.03(1) and 712.06(l)(c) which require an accurate description of the land or interest involved. This is a persuasive and appealing argument but we may not supply that which the legislature did not choose to include in Sections 712.01(3) and 712.03(4). This is the sole prerogative of the legislature and we will not encroach upon its authority.” (363 So.2d at pages 374, 375)”
