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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The Plaintiff] also attempts to assert that the fact he possessed a letter of credit, which could have been used to pay consignors in the event of loss, militates against a finding of liability. We disagree. First, consignors should not have to be involved in the business of ensuring that their consignees have valid, irrevocable, sufficient letters of credit. Second, custodial accounts receive greatly increased insurance protection of up to $100,000 per individual trustee, and this protection is unavailable if the consignees are protected in any way other than by deposits into their custodial account. A line of credit is not to be considered in determining whether a custodial account is in balance. Arab Stock Yard, Inc., 37 Agric. Dec. 293 , aff'd, 582 F.2d 39 (5th Cir.1978).”
