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 165 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]nd of course such reliance must be reasonable.”
14 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“(1) the debtor made representations which he knew to be false or made with reckless disregard for the truth; (2) the representations were made to deceive; (3) the creditor actually and reasonably relied on the representations.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Matera next contends, correctly, that § 17(a)(2) requires a finding that the creditor actually relied upon the false representation. And of course such reliance must be reasonable. But here again it cannot be said that the court committed clear error in finding that Car-ini acted reasonably in relying on [the debtor’s] representations.... Taking into account, as both courts have, the close friendship between the parties, Car-ini’s observations of [the debtor’s] spending habits, the repetition of the false representations over a six month span, and the other circumstances prior to the loan, the finding of reasonable reliance is supported by the evidence.”
