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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Congress believed that it was important to insure that the flow of employer withdrawal liability payments was not delayed by an employer disputing liability.” (citations omitted)). 11 . Both the Trustees and WASCO invoke Seventh Circuit case law, but the law in that circuit seems to be less settled. In Central Transport, a Seventh Circuit panel expressed doubts about a previous panel's emphasis on judicial discretion in resolving claims for interim payments, and concluded instead that "judges have no general equitable power to excuse interim payments.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Arbitration is supposed to speed final decision and reduce the costs of getting there. Efforts to alleviate the “harshness” of the MPPAA by examining the employer’s probability of success before the arbitrator frustrate achievement of that objective. Instead of one speedy decision, there will be three slow ones. First the employer will resist making interim payments; the district judge will have to examine the merits of the plan’s claim to determine the employer’s probability of success before the arbitrator. Next the arbitrator will take evidence and decide. Finally the loser will return to court and ask the judge to set aside the arbitrator’s decision.”
