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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This court is permitted to look beyond the form of the plan to its substance. When viewed in totality, this court concludes that there is no truly separate, distinct, employer-employee relationship and that the debtor(s) may, in reality, withdraw the plan funds and/or other assets at any time. Accordingly, applying the rationale established by this court in Mace, [In re] Mendenhall [ 4 B.R. 127 (D.Or.1980)] and Hebert this court concludes that the debtors’ interest in the plan does not qualify as exempt under ORS 23.170.”
