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

1. ““Clause (21) of § 2a requires ‘receiver or trustees appointed in proceedings not under this act’ to deliver the property in their possession or control to the bankruptcy receiver, trustee, debtor or other person entitled to such property as the case may be, provided the non-bankruptcy receiver or trustee was appointed within four months prior to the date of filing the petition in bankruptcy. * * * Thus a general receivership to effect dissolution or liquidation, whether a state equity receivership or a federal equity receivership, initiated within the four-month period, is superseded by the adjudication in bankruptcy, and the receiver may be ordered summarily to deliver the property in his possession or control. * * * ” Section 2.78, Vol. 1, 14th ed.”

2. ““But there is a countervailing principle that a bankruptcy court has summary jurisdiction to determine whether or not the property concerned is in its actual or constructive possession, and if it is in such possession the bankruptcy court has summary jursidietion to decide the various claims to it.””
