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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he issue was rather one of whether to dismiss the case for failure to prosecute. Such a dismissal is discretionary with the trial court. Owens v. Owens, 435 So.2d 1316 (Ala.Civ.App.1983), and we cannot say that the trial court would have dismissed the action if it had understood that the statute of limitations did not require a dismissal.””
