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

1. “1. “In view of the fact the trust-fund doctrine has been recognized as the law of this state for over forty years, it seems the better rule to follow that when the corporation is insolvent or in a failing condition, it should not be permitted to so deal with its shareholders who are creditors that they receive a preferential right to the assets of the corporation to the detriment of the general creditors. They should receive their dues ratably with other general creditors.” 142 Kan. at 789 . 2. “And finally, another reason why appellants should not prevail is that under decisions noted the ‘trust-fund doctrine’ is followed in this state. The note in question is a part of that trust fund, and the action is to follow and recover it.” 142 Kan. at 791 .”
