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.
“On the date of the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, the trustee stepped directly into Grace Hayes’ shoes. 11 U.S.C. § 110 (a) (1964). And on that date Grace Hayes did not have the bonds, had paid nothing for them, and could have been divested of any interest in the bonds at any moment.... What Grace Hayes possessed ... was an inchoate interest in United States Savings Bonds contingent upon two uncertain future events: 1) that her husband died before she did, and 2) that in the meantime he did not cash the bonds.... [[Image here]] ... We read the referee and District Judge’s decision as a finding of fact that the economic value of this interest was nil. On all the facts in this case, we cannot declare this finding to be clearly erroneous.”
