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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The premium or cost of such insurance when issued through any creditor shall not be deemed interest, or charges, or consideration, or an amount in excess of permitted charges in connection with the loan or other credit transaction, and any benefit or return or other gain or advantage to the creditor arising out of the sale or provision of such insurance shall not be deemed a violation of any other law, general or special, of the State of Maine.””

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“This opinion and order deals exclusively with the validity of a claim filed in the pending wage earner proceeding by Beneficial Finance Co. of Maine, a licensed Maine small loan company, (hereinafter referred to as Beneficial). Under Section 656(b) of the Bankruptcy Act, the court is explicitly directed to “require proof from each creditor filing a claim that such claim is free from usury as defined by the laws of the place where the debt was contracted.” Section 656 (b) of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898 as amended; 11 U.S.C. § 1056 (b). On the basis of the evidentiary material presented to the court, the validity of the claim depends entirely on whether Beneficial has proven that its claim is free from usury, within the meaning and to the extent required by the terms of that section.”
