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.
““(2) Appellant relies upon the case of Hastings v. Taylor, 130 Fla. 249 , 177 So. 621 , holding that proof of ownership of the vehicle is prima facie evidence that the driver is the agent and servant of the owner, or was using same with thé owner’s consent. This case does not rule the case at bar. The presumption is a rebuttable one. In the case at bar, we are not left to an inference or presumption. The uncontradicted evidence shows that McDaniel was operating the truck which caused the injury without the owner’s consent and that he, in no way, was acting as an agent or servant of appellee when the injury occurred. When this evidence was presented the presumption vanished from the case.” f'”
