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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No restraining order or preliminary injunction shall issue except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the court deems proper, for the payment of such costs, damages, and reasonable attorney fees as may be incurred or suffered by any party who is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained; provided, however, no such security shall be required of the State of Alabama or of an officer or agency thereof, and provided further, in the discretion of the court, no such security may be required in domestic relations cases.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Alabama law ... clearly provides that ‘[i]t is mandatory that security be given under Rule 65(c), “unless the trial court makes a specific finding based upon competent evidence that one or more of the exceptions ... do exist.” ’ Anders, 423 So.2d at 840 (quoting Lightsey, 294 Ala. at 285 , 315 So.2d at 434 )”
