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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““According to the pertinent regulations of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, promulgated under Title IX of the Social Security Act, 26 U.S.C.A. Int.Rev.Code, § 1600, et seq., it is provided: “ ‘In general, if an individual is subject to the control or direction of another merely as to the result to be accomplished by the work and not as to the means and method of accomplishing the result, he is an independent contractor, not an employee.’ Treasury Regulation No. 90, Art. 205. The Regulation is in harmony with the assumption that the Act took over the term ‘employee,’ as the common law knew it, ‘for it enumerates the generally accredited determinants in such cases, of which the most important is the putative employer’s control over the employee’s business.’ Texas Co. v. Higgins, 2 Cir., 118 F.2d 636, 638, 639 . As was said in Ruth Bros. v. Stambaugh’s Adm’r., 275 Ky., 677 , 122 S.W.2d 501, 505 . ‘The main question in all cases of this type is whether or not the one who is claimed to be an independent contractor has contracted to do the work according to his own methods and without being subject to the control of his employer except as to the result of his work.’ ””
