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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general practice and policy, this Court is very reluctant to impose punitive sanctions upon counsel and refrains from exercising the Court’s authority under Bankruptcy Rule 9011. However, the conduct of counsel in this case represents the most flagrant abuse of the procedure for involuntary petitions that this Court has ever experienced. Therefore, in consideration of the complete failure of [counsel] to comply with Bankruptcy Rule 9011 and in accordance with the deterrent purposes of the rule, this Court finds and concludes that the appropriate sanction in the nature of punitive damages shall be entered against both [counsel] individually.”
