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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The problem with [creditor’s] argument is that the “allowed secured claim” must arise from “the agreement” for § 506(b) to apply. If the claim is secured only because of a non-consensual lien, such as the judgment lien in this case, fees are not recoverable under § 506(b). ... [U]nder the statute, the lien must arise from the agreement. Section 506(b) does not apply where, as here, the secured claim arises from a non-consensual lien. ... This result does not change simply because the agreement underlying the judgment provided for attorneys fees.”
