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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[E]ven if the trustee could establish that the finality requirements of Rule 304(a) were not met, Carlock would retain its status as a prior perfected lien creditor. This is true because the requirements of Rule 304(a) are merely procedural and not jurisdictional; they can be, and in this case, have been waived. The Illinois Supreme Court [in Leopando] has stated: 'Rule 304(a) does not present a jurisdictional requirement in the sense that it cannot be waived ***’ [citation]. Thus, Wey’s waiver of the Rule 304(a) objection to the garnishment summons precludes the trustee from pressing the objection ***.” Wey, 827 F.2d at 143 , quoting Leopando, 96 Ill. 2d at 117 , 449 N.E.2d at 139 .”
