How this case has been cited

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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Failure to schedule and consequent failure to discharge a particular debt does not operate to adjudicate that the debt is not dischargeable. There is no res adjudicata doctrine, because nothing has been adjudicated ... If a discharge is refused, then, of course, that refusal is res adjudicata ... Of course, where there is a refusal to discharge, the adjudication necessarily is that for some reason justified by the statute the bankrupt cannot obtain discharge of any of his debts,”
