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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Rule 3.830, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, does not define criminal contempt. Case law establishes that a party may be held in direct criminal contempt for the violation of an order of the court or for an act which is facially contemptuous. See Lawrence v. Lawrence, 384 So.2d 279 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980). Thus, the definition of criminal contempt is not restricted to a violation of an order per se.”
