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

1. ““The rules of this Part VII govern any proceeding instituted by a party before a bankruptcy judge to (1) recover money or property, other than a proceeding under Rule 220 or Rule 604, (2) determine the validity, priority, or extent of a lien or other interest in property, (3) sell property free of a lien or other interest for which the holder can be compelled to take a money satisfaction, (4) object to or revoke a discharge, (5) obtain an injunction, (6) obtain relief from a stay as provided in Rule 401 or 601, or (7) determine the dischargeability of a debt. Such a proceeding shall be known as an adversary proceeding.” (emphasis added)”

2. “The existing Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure remain in effect to the extent not inconsistent with the Code until replaced by new rules. The word “request” is used to denote the pleading which initiates a proceeding seeking relief from the automatic stay. No position is taken in the Code on the question of whether the request should be denominated as a complaint, motion, application or some other form of pleading. Accordingly relief from the stay will, until new rules are promulgated, be sought by filing a complaint with the bankruptcy court.”
