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

  1. “We hold that a trial court, as a matter of law, only has the authority under the turnover statute to order a judgment debtor to turn over checks, evidencing wages, when such checks are collected and in the possession or in the control of the debtor. Under the turnover statute, a trial court is not empowered to order a judgment debtor to turn over exempt property. Thus, a trial court can order wages turned over to a receiver only after the wages are paid to and received by the debtor, whether by check or in cash.”
