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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We believe that the circumstances under which Boris Lovich made the statement would justify the application of this principle, [that a false statement made recklessly without any attempt to ascertain the facts and without any basis for an honest belief or truth may bar a discharge under section 14, subd. C(3), the former ‘false financial statement’ exception to discharge]; nevertheless it does not follow as of course that his conduct will bar the discharge of his employers, the bankrupts. As their authorized agent to manage the business, fraud on his part in obtaining credit for them may be imputed to them to affect their rights and obligations with respect to the person defrauded without necessarily affecting their privilege of a discharge under the Bankruptcy Act.” (Emphasis added.)”
