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.
““The chattel mortgage of June 26, 1952, was not filed with the Register of Deeds by petitioner until July 2, 1952. In the interim, credit was extended in good faith to the bankrupt by unsecured creditors. This chattel mortgage is void against the intervening .creditors and the trustee. Compiled Laws Mieh.1948, § 566.140, Mich.Stat.Ann. § 26.929, Bankruptcy Act, § 70, subs, c, e, 11 U.S.C.A. § 110 , subs, c, e.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In the absence of the facts and circumstances to manifest a contrary intention of the parties, the taking of a new note for one secured by a [chattel] mortgage is not payment, does not extinguish the debt evidenced thereby, and does not discharge the (chattel mortgage) security for the earlier note. The mortgage secures the debt, of which the note is mere evidence. A change of the evidence of an indebtedness neither discharges the obligation nor releases the security which follows the debt.”
