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.
““ ‘If the statute affected to declare in advance of a hearing that the plaintiff’s attorney might forbid the “third party’s” transfer of any specific property under pain of contempt, there would indeed be much to say for that argument. It does not do so; it measures the extent of the prohibition by the judgment debtor’s ownership of the property; the “third party” is forbidden to transfer only what property he owns, and cannot be punished without proof that any property thereafter transferred was the debtor’s.’ ” (Ill. Ann. Stat., ch. 110, par. .2 — 1402, Historical and Practice Notes, at 867 (Smith-Hurd 1983), quoting Capitol Co. v. Fox (2d Cir. 1936), 85 F.2d 97, 101 .)”
