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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the circumstances of this record the ‘ * * * danger to which * * * (plaintiff) * * * became subjected was a danger which came into being, not from the condition of the premises or the place of work, but from the manner of performance of the job to be done by those who were working together.’ Moore v. Texas Co., 1956, Tex.Civ.App., 299 S.W.2d 401 , at page 403, error refused, n. r. e. For, as that case declares the Texas law, the ‘ * * * owner of the premises is under no duty to the employee of an independent contractor to see to it that the work is done safely.’ 299 S.W.2d 401 , at page 403.””
