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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As noted in White , many intentional infliction of emotional distress cases arise in the employment setting where conduct which is otherwise inactionable can become actionable as `extreme and outrageous' when the offender is in a position of power and authority over the plaintiff. Thus, many of the cases involve circumstances arising in the workplace. White, 585 So.2d at 1209-1210 . However, this proposition is balanced by the notion that the same conduct may be privileged under other employment circumstances so that `disciplinary action and conflict in a pressure-packed workplace environment, although calculated to cause some degree of mental anguish, is not ordinarily actionable.' White, 585 So.2d at 1210 . Hence, workplace conduct amounting to a tort is usually `limited to cases involving a pattern of deliberate, repeated harassment over a period of time.' White, 585 So.2d at 1210 .”
