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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]lthough... the record contain[ed] sufficient, competent evidence upon which the trial judge could have based its award according to the criteria as set forth in Rowe , neither the record nor the order set[ ] forth any specific findings as required by Rowe . " The opinion, however, did not explain why Rowe requirements are different from other statutorily imposed requirements or how the appellant demonstrated a "miscarriage of justice”
