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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A “fresh start” in bankruptcy, however, means more than relieving debtors from the oppressive burdens of their debts. That phrase must also mean that post-petition creditors can rely on full payment from debtors who have received a discharge. Those debtors are no longer overburdened by debt and they cannot receive another chapter seven discharge for another six years, 11 U.S.C. § 727 (a)(8). By being able to rely on the possibility of full payment, post-petition creditors will be encouraged to extend credit to debtors who have received a discharge, thus increasing the likelihood for a successful fresh start by the debtor.”
