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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even at the conclusion of the trial, the court apparently had not reached a decision. The trial judge required counsel for both parties to submit proposed findings of facts and conclusions of law. The judge then entered his final judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. That judgment included a ten-page analysis of the application of the facts to each of the criteria set forth in section 193.011. Trial courts must be cautious not to award attorney’s fees under section 57.105 merely because a party’s defense is unavailing. Here, the issues were resolved against [the property appraiser]. Yet, after an examination of the record, we cannot say that his defense of his method of assessment of apartment units converted to condominiums was wholly without merit.”
