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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n entity seeking interim or final compensation for services, or reimbursement of necessary expenses, from the estate shall file with the court an application setting forth a detailed statement of 1) the services rendered, time expended and expenses incurred, and 2) the amounts requested ...”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Without adequate time records containing information about the service rendered, the court cannot determine the time spent by the trustee ... the reasonableness of the services provided, or even the nature of the services allegedly provided. The court has no basis to determine a proper rate of compensation where the entity seeking compensation fails to comply with Bankruptcy Rule 2016. On the other hand, this court has previously expressed its opinion to the effect that time records need not contain such excessive detail as to result in fee applications that are “of such enormous length and detail that they are of little ultimate value in awarding fees.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he court concludes, from the clear language of the Code, that section 326 acts to limit compensation to be paid to a trustee for the services rendered by the trustee. If the trustee utilizes the services of a paraprofessional, those services can be separately compensated, subject to the limitation under section 330 that such services be ‘actual and necessary’.”
