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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The weight of authority in the United States follows the rule that although an infant is liable for torts that he directly commits, the negligence of the infant’s alleged servant or agent cannot be imputed to the minor under the doctrine of respondeat superior. * * * ⅜ ⅜ ⅛ # * * “The ‘joint enterprise’ doctrine is founded on principles of agency [citation omitted]. Because this is true, the rule forbidding the imputing of negligence of the alleged agent to the minor would also apply to cases where the minor is engaged in a joint enterprise with the person who commits the negligent act in question.””
