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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the employer retains the right to control the work and the manner in which it is done, those doing the work are servants. On the other hand, if an employee has the right to control the manner of work and the right to determine the means by which results are accomplished, he is deemed an independent contractor and the employer is not responsible for his negligence. Blair v. Boggs, Ky., 265 S.W.2d 795 ; Eutsler v. Huff, 222 Ky. 48 , 299 S.W. 1070 ; Glover’s Adm’r v. James, 217 Ky. 572 , 290 S.W. 344 ; Stearns Coal & Lumber Co. v. Spradlin, 176 Ky. 405 , 195 S.W. 781 . In each of these cases it was pointed out that the lessor of a coal mine was not responsible for the negligent acts of his lessee where the latter had control of the mine.””
