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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" 'Summary judgment is properly granted when there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Whatley v. Cardinal Pest Control , 388 So.2d 529 (Ala. 1980); Wheeler v. First Alabama Bank of Birmingham , 364 So.2d 1190 (Ala. 1978); Rule 56, ARCP. "If there is a scintilla of evidence supporting the position of the party against whom the motion for summary judgment is made, so that at trial he would be entitled to go to the jury, a summary judgment may not be granted." Campbell v. Alabama Power Co. , 378 So.2d 718 , 721 (Ala. 1979); Chiniche v. Smith , 374 So.2d 872 (Ala. 1979). Once a motion for summary judgment has been made, the adverse party ordinarily should not rest on his pleadings, but should respond by setting forth specific facts which show that a material issue of fact does exist. Whatley v. Cardinal Pest Control , 388 So.2d 529 (Ala. 1980); Real Coal, Inc. v. Thompson Tractor Co. , 379 So.2d 1249 (Ala. 1980).' Id. at 718."”
