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

1. ““No appeal has been taken by any other of the several defendants. Consequently, we should not and do not consider the position taken in the court below by any one of them, nor can this appellant assert their rights to a reversal if any should exist. * * * “Counsel for appellant relies upon Supreme Court Rule No. 13 for his position that the foregoing rule is not applicable in the instant case. His position is not well taken. Said rule is applicable only in an appeal from a joint decree where the appellate court cannot properly review the decree with less than all of the defendants, who are jointly affected, before the court. The decree in this case is not a joint decree and the rights of one of the defendants are in no way dependent upon the rights of any other defendant and, therefore, each should be the subject of a separate appeal. Kooman, Florida Chancery Pleading & Practice, Sec. 171, p. 400. See also 4 C.J.S., Appeal and Error, § 1248, page 1747.””
