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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"(b) Venue of Actions. Venue of actions shall not be affected by these rules except as the statute for venue for actions against individuals at law (§ 6-3-2 (a)) and the statute for venue for actions against individuals in equity (§ 6-3-2 (b)) are inconsistent. Such inconsistencies are resolved as follows: "(1) Against Resident Individuals. Actions against an individual or individuals having a permanent *Page 481 residence in this state: "(A) Must be brought in the county where the defendant or any material defendant resides at the commencement of the action, except that if the action is a personal action other than an action on a contract, it may be brought either in the county where the act or omission complained of occurred, or in the county of the permanent residence of the defendant or one of them;”
