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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[A] civil action arising out of the provisions” of Section 701.04, the express predicate to the recovery of attorney’s fees, is necessarily confined to one brought by a person who has fully paid an outstanding mortgage, lien or judgment, but despite such payment is compelled to sue to obtain a satisfaction in order, in the usual case, to remove the cloud on the title caused by the previously recorded mortgage, lien or judgment.”
