4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"This cause came to be heard by the trial judge upon the pleadings and stipulations of the parties. The court heard no oral testimony on any matter material on this appeal. `When such is the case, no weight will be given the decision of the trial judge upon the facts, but this court must review the evidence de novo and render such judgment as it deems just.' Prestwood v. Gilbreath, 293 Ala. 379, 384 , 304 So.2d 175, 179 (1974). The ore tenus rule of review does not apply to a decision based on such evidence at trial. Kessler v. Stough, 361 So.2d 1048, 1049 (Ala.1978); Hacker v. Carlisle, 388 So.2d 947, 950 (Ala.1980). `Instead, this court "sits in judgment on the evidence."' Mann v. Cherry, Bekaert and Holland, 414 So.2d 921, 923 (Ala.1982), citing Hacker v. Carlisle ; McCulloch v. Roberts, 292 Ala. 451 , 296 So.2d 163 (1974); Redwine v. Jackson, 254 Ala. 564 , 49 So.2d 115 (1950)."”

Plaintiffs need not build a residence on each subdivision of the large tract in order to maintain possession of the large tract”
