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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is earnestly contended that the court erred in allowing the trustee in bankruptcy to recover interest from the date of appellant’s receipt of the funds in question. Without discussing the several theories of justification of the recovery of interest, or whether such rights depend upon the fact that the indebtedness is liquidated or unliquidated, we are of the opinion that, where the action is to recover the pecuniary value of the property transferred, that is, damages, interest should be computed from the date of the demand; lacking such demand, interest may be computed from the commencement of the action.”
