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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... WARN’s obligations indeed can apply to a secured creditor, but only where the creditor operates the debtor’s asset as a ‘business enterprise’ in the ‘normal commercial sense.’ On the other hand, where the creditor does no more than exercise that degree of control over the debtor’s collateral necessary to protect the security interest, and acts only to preserve the business asset for liquidation or sale, the notice requirement of WARN will not apply ‘precisely because the [defendant has not] continue[d] the business in operation.’”
