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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is generally held by the courts, including our own, that if the employer claims that an employee is an independent contractor for whose acts he is not responsible, the burden is upon him to show that fact. It was so held in St. Louis, I. M. & S. R. Co. v. Davenport, 80 Ark. 244 , 96 S.W. 994 , * * *. In Dishman v. Whitney, 121 Wash. 157 , 209 P. 12 , 29 A.L.R. 460 , it was held that `Where the facts presented are as consistent with the theory of agency as with that of independent contractor, the burden is on the one asserting the independency of the contractor to show the true relation of the parties.' Many other cases might be cited to the same effect. See 27 Am.Jur., p. 538, Sec. 59."”
