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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Cognizant of the aforementioned differing schools of thought, this Court notes that those courts addressing the “completion of payments” issue have “generally ... held that a plan is ‘complete’ when the debtor makes all the payments to the trustee.” In re Sounakhene, 249 B.R. [801] at 803 [(Bankr.S.D.Cal.2000)], citing In re Phelps, 149 B.R. 534, 539 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.1993); In re Moss, 91 B.R. 563, 565 (Bankr.C.D.Cal.1988); [In re] Casper, 154 B.R. [243] at 247 [(N.D.Ill.1993)]. Therefore, when a debtor completes his obligations as provided for in the terms of a confirmed plan, that debtor has effected a completion of payments under such plan. See Casper, 154 B.R. at 246, citing In re Chancellor, 78 B.R. [529] at 530 [(Bankr.N.D.Ill.1987)]. “The bankruptcy courts should look to the substance of the plan and the nature of the debtor’s total obligation to the allowed creditors in order to discern when payments under a plan are complete.” Casper, 154 B.R. at 246, citing In re Chancellor, 78 B.R. at 530 (emphasis added).”
