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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That he is such an employer is by the complaint averred, and not demonstrated through specific allegations to be either mistaken or false. The validity of his characterization as an employer must be determined after the formulation of the issues, probably upon the formal trial of the action, possibly after appropriate discovery proceedings, by summary judgment.””
