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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The plaintiff must establish (1) that there existed a right, debt or duty owed [plaintiff] by the defendant, which debt, in this case, arose before or near the time of the defendant’s conveyance; (2) that the defendant conveyed property which was subject to execution in satisfaction of the defendant’s debt; (3) that the conveyance here was without adequate consideration, and (4) if the conveyance was without adequate consideration, as here alleged, that the defendant acted fraudulently to the hindrance of the plaintiff’s rights against him.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"§ 2281. Fraudulent deeds and transfers Fraudulent and deceitful conveyances of houses, lands, tenements or hereditaments, or of goods and chattels, and all bonds, bills, notes, contracts and agreements, all actions, judgments and executions, made or had to avoid a right, debt or duty of another person, shall, as against the party only whose right, debt or duty is attempted to be avoided, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, be null and void.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Once the [trustee] has established that the conveyance was voluntary and that the condition of the debtor’s estate is such that he cannot collect on his debt, the law will impute fraud to the transfer- or. By this imputation, fraud may be inferred, but the party seeking to sustain the transfer may rebut it by meeting its burden of going forward with evidence which shows that at the time of the transfer the debtor had resources sufficient to answer his debts. The burden of persuasion remains throughout the trial with the proponent of the position that the conveyance was fraudulent.”
