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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n action or proceeding under section 544, 545, 547, 548, or 553 of this title may not be commenced after ... two years after the appointment of a trustee.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Supreme Court ... in Holmberg v. Armbrecht, 327 U.S. 392, 397 , 66 S.Ct. 582, 585 , 90 L.Ed. 743 (1946) ... stated that the equitable tolling doctrine should be “read into every federal statute of limitations.” The Seventh Circuit, further refining the doctrine, has ruled that the tolling doctrine operates against “those who negligently facilitate fraud” as well as those who take affirmative steps to conceal fraud. Schaefer v. First National Bank of Lincolnwood, 509 F.2d 1287,1296 (7th Cir.1975) (remaining citations omitted) ... In the present case the record is unclear as to whether the debtors actively concealed the newly discovered assets, or whether they negligently facilitated fraud by simply failing to schedule these assets. In the former situation, the statute of limitations would be tolled until actual discovery of the fraud; in the latter, the tolling would last until the fraud could reasonably have been discovered by a trustee exercising due care, (citation omitted).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In Re Winebrenner“Because equitable tolling is essentially a fact-based decision, and the present record is sparse, it will be up to the bankruptcy court to determine whether the doctrine should govern this case.”
