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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he term “regularly employed” connotes employment of the same number of persons throughout the period with some constancy. It would not seem that the purpose of the Act would be accomplished by making it applicable to an employer who may have had, in the total number of persons entering and leaving his service during the period, more than the minimum number required by the Act.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“three or more individuals must affirmatively appear in the record. Durham v. McLamb, 59 N.C. App. 165, 170 , 296 S.E.2d 3, 6 (1982); Chadwick v. Department of Conservation and Development, 219 N.C. 766, 767 , 14 S.E.2d 842, 843 (1941).”
