These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 228 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This Court reversed, concluding that an order of restitution was a proper ‘other order.’ This interpretation was required to give effect to the congressional purpose to authorize whatever order within the inherent equitable power of the District Court may be considered appropriate and necessary to enforce compliance with the Act. * * * “Adhering to the broad ground of interpretation of the ‘other orders’ provision adopted in the Warner case, we think the order for restitution entered by the District Court in this section was permissible under § 206(b).” 3”
