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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ ‘When the sufficiency of a complaint is at issue, this Court will liberally construe the complaint in favor of stating a claim for relief. “Dismissals under Rule 12(b)(6)[, Ala. R. Civ. P.,] should be granted sparingly, and such a dismissal is proper only when it appears beyond a doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of the claim which would entitle him or her to relief.” Garrett v. Hadden, 495 So.2d 616, 617 (Ala.1986). “ ‘ “Where a [Rule] 12(b)(6) motion has been granted and this Court is called upon to review the dismissal of the complaint, we must examine the allegations contained therein and construe them so as to resolve all doubts concerning the sufficiency of the complaint in favor of the plaintiff.” ’ ” Boswell v. Liberty Nat’l Life Ins. Co., 643 So.2d 580, 581 (Ala.1994), quoting Grant v. Butler, 590 So.2d 254, 255 (Ala.1991), quoting in turn Greene County Bd. of Educ. v. Bailey, 586 So.2d 893, 897-98 (Ala.1991). “ ‘ “Unless it appears beyond reasonable doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief under some cognizable theory of law, the court should not grant a motion to dismiss a complaint.” American Auto. Ins. Co. v. McDonald, 812 So.2d 309, 311 (Ala.2001), citing Rice v. United Ins. Co. of America, 465 So.2d 1100 (Ala.1984). In our review, we need not determine “whether the plaintiff will ultimately prevail, only whether he has stated a claim on which he may possibly prevail”
