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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[n]othing in the way of money or otherwise was transferred by HUD to any fund as a result of this action.... Nothing was said as to where HUD would obtain the funds from which" to make its promised payments to the project owners; it was simply an obligation of HUD to provide the payments from any source it saw fit to use.... It is not shown that there is any common fund created by the litigation from which attorneys’ fees can be paid, and the District Court, while invoking the ‘common fund doctrine,’ did not in fact order payment from any fund.” Id. at 1175-76 .”
