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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“P, a taxicab company, purporting to be the master of the drivers of the cabs, in fact enters into an arrangement with the drivers by which the drivers operate independently. A driver negligently injures T, a passenger, and also B, a person upon the street. P is not liable to B. If it is found that T relied upon P as one furnishing safe drivers, P is subject to liability to T in an action of tort.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The logo on the taxicab driven by defendant Gamal Abdel-Kader . . . during the events described in the complaint announced that the taxicab was a Cambridge Checker Cab. Moussa chose to hire this particular taxicab only because he recognized the logo and believed that the cab was from a reputable company.”
