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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) designate a class or classes of unsecured claims, as provided in section 1122 of this title, but may not discriminate unfairly against any class so designated; however, such plan may treat claims for a consumer debt of the debtor if an individual is liable on such consumer debt with the debtor differently than other unsecured claims.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Coonce · In Re Scheiber“(1) Whether the discrimination has a reasonable basis; (2) Whether the debtor can carry out a plan without such discrimination; (3) Whether such discrimination is proposed in good faith; and (4) The treatment of the class discriminated against.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Whittaker · In Re Leser“by allowing for separate classes of unsecured claims, Congress anticipated some discrimination, otherwise separate classes would have no significance. It is only unfair discrimination that is prohibited.”
