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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case, there has been no suggestion in the opinions below of any fraud or unfair dealing. However, a factual record should be established. Since a “bankruptcy court sits as a court of equity,” Beck Industries, 605 F.2d at 634 , it is of course appropriate for the court to consider whether the former fiduciary’s bid or purchase tainted the proceedings with wrongdoing, cf. Donovan & Schuenke [v. Sampsell ], 226 F.2d [804] at 811, [ (9th Cir.1955) ] or stifled competition for the asset, see Beck Industries, 605 F.d at 636, or whether the former fiduciary promulgated any impropriety, see Mintiner v. Michigan Nat’Bank, 117 Mich.App. 633 , 324 N.W.2d 110 (Mich.Ct.App.1982); Tognazzini v. Tognazzini, 125 Cal.App.2d 679 , 271 P.2d 77, 85 (1954). The integrity of the sale is the issue to be addressed — not any general past conduct of a bidder in relation to other matters. (Emphasis supplied) 762 F.2d at 243 .”
