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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Sommers v. Timely Toys, Inc., 209 F.2d 342 (2d Cir. 1954), the holding, if not the precise rationale upon which it proceeded, was unmistakable: a commingling landlord forfeited its right to a security deposit upon the lessee’s bankruptcy. Sommers was adhered to in Fore Improvement Corp. v. Selig, 278 F.2d 143 (2d Cir. 1960), where the holding was similarly confined to a commingling landlord who sought to invoke the set-off allowed by section 68, sub. a. We noted there that the commingling landlord ‘by virtue of the section 233 violation * * * failed to obtain for itself the rights thereunder which compliance would have bestowed.’ 278 F.2d at 146 . See also Tru-Seal Aluminum Prods. Co., 170 F.Supp. 902 (E.D.N.Y.1959), aff’d sub nom. Fore Improvement Corp. v. Selig, supra.””
