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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * the authorities hold (1) that the original employer remains liable under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, until there has been a reasonable time, or course of events, for knowledge of change of employer to be brought home to the employee; and (2) that the relationship of employer and employee is presumed to continue for a reasonable time after a sale of the business made without the knowledge of the employee. See Palmer v. Main, 209 Ky. 226 , 272 S. W. 736 ; Buchanan Min. Co. v. Henson, 228 Ky. 367 , 15 S. W. 2d 291 ; Schneider’s Workmen’s Compensation Test, Perm. Ed., § 788; Horowitz on ‘Workmen’s Compensation,’ p. 228, et seq.; and also 71 C. J. 397 * * [Emphasis added]”
