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

1. ““His defense in this discharge proceeding is that his failure to keep records did not relate to his business transactions, but merely to his personal expenses and gambling losses, which are not within the terms of the statute. The court below considered this excuse but rejected it. In our opinion this conclusion was correct, since the explanation is clearly insufficient to meet the requirements of Section 14, sub. c of the statute, that where reasonable grounds for refusing a discharge are shown by an objector, the burden of disproving the charge rests upon the bankrupt.””
