“"(a) The court shall award the defendant his litigation expenses, in addition to any other amounts authorized by law, if the action is wholly or partly dismissed for any reason. "(b) If the scope of the property to be taken is reduced as the result of (1) a partial dismissal, (2) a dismissal of one or more plaintiffs, or (3) a final judgment determining that the plaintiff cannot take part of the property originally sought to be taken, the court shall award the defendant the portion of his litigation expenses attributable to the property within the scope of the reduction. "(c) Costs and litigation expenses authorized by this section may be claimed,”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"On motion of the defendant, the court shall dismiss the action in whole or in part, as justice requires, if: "(1) Upon sustaining a preliminary objection to the plaintiff's complaint, the court determines that a dismissal is required; "(2) The plaintiff has unjustifiably failed to exercise reasonable diligence in prosecuting the action; "(3) The plaintiff has failed to pay the full amount required by the judgment within the time allowed."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Carroll v. Ward““The burden is on one moving for summary judgment to demonstrate that no genuine issue of material fact is left for consideration by the jury; the burden does not shift to the opposing party to establish a genuine issue of material fact until the moving party has made a prima facie showing that there is no such issue of material fact. Berner v. Caldwell, 543 So.2d 686, 688 (Ala.1989).””
