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.
““In the great majority of cases involving negligent operation of a car by a garageman or mechanic in connection with the work for which it has been placed in his custody * * *, the courts have held the owner not liable. This is on the theory that the garageman or mechanic becomes the bailee of the car as an independent contractor, since the owner is concerned only with the results of the work and not with the detailed manner in which it is carried out.” Annotation, 35 A.L.R.2d 804 , at 805.”
