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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While we recognize that the decision to grant or deny a motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens is within the discretion of the district court, it should be an exercise in structured discretion founded on a procedural framework guiding the district court’s decisionmaking process .... our duty as an appellate court in reviewing forum non conveniens decisions is to review the lower court's decisionmaking process and conclusion and determine if it is reasonable; our duty is not to perform a de novo analysis and make the initial determination for the district court.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[f]or practical reasons it is necessary that the rule be as the Fourth District [in Bridgestone/Firestone ] has said. If the review were de novo in every case in which the factual record is based on affidavits rather than live testimony (which is true in almost every forum non conveniens case), the litigants would have an incentive to appeal every forum non conveniens order in hopes that the appellate panel, considering the matter de novo, would reach a different ruling. The abuse of discretion standard is entirely appropriate.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The Florida Supreme Court has specified that the standard of review is abuse of discretion, and we follow that standard. The only exception, a limited one, is when the trial court did not address (and therefore did not exercise any discretion) regarding one or more of the Kinney factors. In that situation, this court has the latitude to address the previously-unaddressed Kinney factors for the first time on appeal in the interest of judicial economy and efficiency.”
