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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the instant case, there was an agreement between Construction One and AMCO [the subcontractor that employed the plaintiff] that provided that AMCO was to furnish all the equipment, labor, tools, etc., and that Construction One had the right, but not the obligation, to inspect the equipment used by AMCO. The evidence established that AMCO furnished the ladder used by Barron and that Construction One had never inspected the ladder or any other equipment used by AMCO employees.””
