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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In applying the standards of proposed 11 U.S.C. § 1325 (a)(4) to the confirmation of a modified plan, "the plan" as used in the section will be the plan as modified under this section, by virtue of the incorporation by reference into this section of proposed 11 U.S.C. § 1323 (b). Thus, the application of the liquidation value test must be redetermined at the time of the confirmation of the modified plan.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Nott · In Re Barbosa“In order to determine whether [the requirement of § 1325(a)(4) ] is met it is necessary to determine, hypothetically, what the dividend to creditors would be if the debtor’s estate were liquidated in a Chapter 7 case. To make this hypothetical calculation it is not only necessary to determine the value of the property of the estate but what portion of the estate would be exempt. It would only be the value of the property, less the exemptions, which would be available to creditors. The debtor's claim of exemptions is a necessary element in making this determination.”
