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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A creditor may not cast his vote for an ulterior purpose and expect to have it counted. Ulterior motives have been held to include ‘pure malice, strikes and blackmail, and the purpose to destroy an enterprise in order to advance the interests of a competing business,’ ””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It prescribes a standard of conduct defined by the elusive term ‘good faith’, which must be met under pain of disqualification. The test is plainly to be sought in the motives of the holder of the claims. The Securities and Exchange Commission suggests in its brief that if a cent is withheld to serve some ulterior selfish purpose good faith is wanting. If the emphasis be placed on ‘ulterior’ rather than ‘selfish’ this seems to be as practical a test as could be found. What is selfishness from the standpoint of those who derive no benefit from the conduct under scrutiny often becomes enlight ened self-interest if viewed from the standpoint of those who gain by it. If a selfish motive were sufficient to condemn reorganization policies of interested parties, very few, if any, would pass mustard. On the other hand, pure malice, ‘strikes’, and blackmail, and the purpose to destroy an enterprise in order to advance the interest of a competing business, all plainly constituting bad faith are motives which may be accurately described as ulterior.”
