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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““... one cannot escape the conclusion that the Settlement represents a compensation for loss of future earnings as opposed to payment for actual, post-petition services rendered. Because Debtor’s receipt of the Settlement is not conditioned upon, or in any way connected with, the performance of continued services subsequent to the petition, the Court finds that the earnings exception of § 541(a)(6) is not applicable. To accept the interpretation of § 541(a)(6) urged by the Debtor would unduly broaden the narrow post-petition earnings exception to § 541(a)’s inclusive definition of property of the estate. Further, in every bankruptcy case in which the estate included a debtor’s cause of action the Court would be forced to make an apportionment of damages where lost wages arguably a constituent part of the overall settlement.””
