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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “the phrase “taxes . . . which were not reported on a return made by the bankrupt” as used in Section 17(a)(1)(c) of the Bankruptcy Act includes a tax deficiency ultimately established by the Government even if, as in [this case], the taxpayer has fully reported both his gross income and the basis of the deductions which are ultimately disallowed.”

  2. “It is anomalous to say that under proviso (b) a taxpayer-bankrupt may be released from tax liability arising from the failure of the bankrupt to make a return required by law where the taxes became legally due and owing more than three years before bankruptcy and were assessed more than one year before filing of the petition, and to interpret proviso (c) in such a way that a deficiency arising from a return made by a bankrupt in which there was full disclosure, will not be released, although the taxes became legally due and owing more than three years before bankruptcy.”
