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

1. ““We do not think the bankruptcy court had any such power. It had the power to enjoin anyone from interfering with the jurisdiction of the court in the orderly administration of the bankrupt estate and its attempt to dispose of the assets of the bankrupt; but when the assets had been sold and delivered to the purchaser, the court, in the absence of some validly assumed obligation to do so, owed no duty to protect the purchaser thereafter. “The injunction should not have extended beyond the necessities of the case. When the assets were sold and delivered to the purchaser, the bankrupt had no business left to be interfered with. The court’s right to operate the business could no longer be interfered with. The bankrupt’s business and assets were gone. The injunctive process of the court could go no further than the court’s duties and its necessities in the lawful exercise of its powers as a bankruptcy court required. When the property was sold and delivered to the purchaser, the bankruptcy court had no power or authority to extend its protection beyond the sale and delivery of the property.””
