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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * * * * "* * * that Section 73.16, Florida Statutes 1941, F.S.A., which provides `All costs of proceedings shall be paid by the petitioner, including a reasonable attorney's fee * * *' should be construed in the light of Section 12 of our Declaration of Rights, F.S.A., which declares that private property shall not be taken `without just compensation.' (Italics supplied.) When so construed the language `All costs of proceedings * * *' must be held, in a proper case, to include fees of expert witnesses for the defendants. The allowance or disallowance of such fees should be a matter for the trial judge to decide in the exercise of sound judicial discretion." * * * * * *”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Full compensation is guaranteed by the Constitution to those whose property is divested from them by eminent domain. The theory and purpose of that guaranty is that the owner shall be made whole so far as possible and practicable."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Since the owner of private property sought to be condemned is forced into court by one to whom he owes no obligation, it cannot be said that he has received ‘just compensation’ for his property if he is compelled to pay out of his own pocket the expenses of establishing the fair value of the property, which ex penses in some cases could conceivably exceed such value.””
