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

1. ““The law is well settled that ‘[a] party may not predicate an argument for reversal on “invited error,” that is, “error into which he has led or lulled the trial court.” ’ Atkins v. Lee, 603 So.2d 937, 945 (Ala.1992) (quoting Dixie Highway Express, Inc. v. Southern Ry., 286 Ala. 646, 651 , 244 So.2d 591, 595 (1971)). The doctrine of invited error ‘provides that a party may not complain of error into which he has led the court.’ Ex parte King, 643 So.2d 1364, 1366 (Ala.1993). In other words, ‘[a] party cannot win a reversal on an error that party has invited the trial court to commit.’ Neal v. Neal, 856 So.2d 766, 784 (Ala.2002). See also Liberty Nat'l Life Ins. Co. v. Beasley, 466 So.2d 935, 937 (Ala.1985); and State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Humphres, 293 Ala. 413, 418 , 304 So.2d 573, 577 (1974).””

2. ““The ALAA provides that the court must award attorney fees and costs as a part of its judgment bn the merits of the case; it does not create a new or separate cause of action that can be brought after a case is litigated and given a final adjudication on the merits. Ala.Code 1975,' § 12-19-270; Gonzalez, LLC v. DiVincenti, 844 So.2d 1196, 1201 (Ala' 2002). The language of the ALAA, allows the trial court to consider the outcome of proceedings when making its determination as to whether a party’s action was without substantial justification. Ala.Code 1975, § 12-19-273(7); Gonzalez, 844 So.2d at 1201 ; and Meek v. Diversified Prods. Corp., 575 So.2d 1100, 1103 (Ala.1991). Thus, the trial court can hold a separate hearing on an ALAA claim after the entry of a final judgment on the merits provided that the trial court specifically reserves jurisdiction to hear the ALAA claim. Gonzalez, 844 So.2d at 1201 . Otherwise, a judgment that does not reserve • jurisdiction to hear the ALAA-claim at a. later date puts an end to all controversies at issue, including the ALAA claim. Gonzalez, 844 So.2d at 1201-02 ; see also Baker v. Williams Bros., Inc., 601 So.2d 110, 112 (Ala.Civ.App.1992).””
