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.
“§ 2963"The chief consideration which determines that one is an independent contractor as to the mode of doing the work contracted for, but only as to the result to be achieved. Control within such rule means complete control or the full and unqualified right to control and direct the details of, or the means by which, the work is to be accomplished. It is the right to control the details of the work and not the fact of actual interference in such work that distinguishes between an independent contractor and a servant. * * *." § 2964"In determining whether or not one is an independent contractor, it is also important to ascertain whether he renders the service in question in the course of an independent occupation. * * * One who, in the exercise of an independent occupation, contracts to accomplish a specified piece of work for an agreed lump sum, thereby establishes a typical relationship of independent contractor."”
