These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““While the complaint is not a model of perfect draftsmanship, it does adequately allege grounds upon which the Court could proceed to trial upon the question of dischargeability of the debt due to the plaintiff Bank. Rule 8, Sub-section (f), of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that ‘All pleadings shall be so construed as to do substantial justice’ and this Court is of the opinion that Plaintiff’s complaint does state facts upon which it would be entitled to relief. Any errors are of form rather than substance. Bankruptcy Courts are courts of equity and are primarily interested in doing substantial justice. They are not so much interested in the niceties of pleading.””
