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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the absence of any reference to the contrary in the order of sale, a bankruptcy sale is made subject to valid liens and other encumbrances, in which case the interests of the lien holders are in no way affected by the sale. * * * ****** “But when a sale free of liens is ordered, invariably the order provides for a transfer of all valid encumbrances from the res to its proceeds. The bankruptcy court has power to displace existing liens only to the extent to which it imposes them upon the proceeds * * (Footnote omitted.) 182 F.2d at 382 .”
