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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It appears that nowhere in the Bankruptcy Code is it provided that a debtor, or for that matter their attorney, must sign a bankruptcy petition. Instead, signature requirements are Rule driven. But insofar as the Rules go, Rule 1008 does not constitute the last word on a petition’s signature requirements. Importantly, Bankruptcy Rule 9011, which by its specific terms applies to bankruptcy petitions, sets forth in the last sentence of paragraph (a) that an “unsigned paper shall be stricken unless omission of the signature is corrected promptly after being called to the attention of the attorney or party.” (emphasis added). Thus, Rule 9011 allows a party to correct a signature omission in a petition so long as they do promptly once learning of the defect.”
