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 71 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trustee steps into the shoes of the debtor for the purposes of asserting or maintaining the debtor's causes of action, which become property of the estate.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Causes of action belonging to the debt- or are included as property of the estate under 11 U.S.C. § 541 (a)(1) (1982). E.g., In re Ozark Restaurant Equip. Co., 816 F.2d 1222, 1225 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 848 [ 108 S.Ct. 147 , 98 L.Ed.2d 102 ] (1987); 4 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 541.10[1], at 541-63. The Trustee, however, has no power to assert any claim on behalf of the creditors when the cause of action belongs solely to them. E.g., Caplin v. Marine Midland Grace Trust Co., 406 U.S. 416, 434 [ 92 S.Ct. 1678, 1688 , 32 L.Ed.2d 195 ] (1972); In re Ozark, supra, 816 F.2d at 1229-30 ; 4 Collier on Bankruptcy § 541.10[8], at 541-70.”
