The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “"[P]recedents addressing the effect of involuntary dismissals under former Rule 41(b) should be equally applicable to judgments entered on partial findings pursuant to Rule 52(c), Ala.R.Civ.P. See Grant v. Bullock County Bd. of Educ ., 895 F. Supp. 1506 , 1508-09 (M.D.Ala. 1995) (applying involuntary-dismissal precedents in ruling upon a motion for a judgment on partial findings filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 52 (c)). "While former Rule 41(b) was in effect, our Supreme Court held that the ore tenus standard of review applied to judgments entered pursuant to that rule: "`[S]ince the Judge is the trier of fact in a nonjury action, he or she may weigh and consider the evidence on a motion for an involuntary dismissal. The normal presumptions of correctness attach to a trial court's ruling on an involuntary dismissal. The trial court's ruling need only be supported by credible evidence and will not be set aside unless it is clearly erroneous or palpably wrong or unjust.' " Feaster v. American Liberty Ins. Co ., 410 So.2d 399 , 402 (Ala. 1982)."”

2. “"If during a trial without a jury a party has been fully heard on an issue and the court finds against the party on that issue, the court may enter judgment against that party with respect to a claim or defense that cannot under the controlling law be maintained or defeated without a favorable finding on that issue, or the court may decline to render any judgment until the close of all the evidence."”

3. “We also note that although Loggins testified to the amount he billed Robinson, he did not testify that his charges represented the reasonable value of his services and that he did not present any evidence regarding the reasonable value of his services. An essential element of a claim for work and labor done is proof of the reasonable value of the services.”
