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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the light of these conceptual differences, it has been held that the authorities interpreting the words “arising out of and occurring in the course of his employment” for the purpose of determining liability under the workmen’s compensation laws aré not controlling when the test of liability is in the interpretation of the words “acting within the scope of employment” under the doctrine of respondeat superior. [Citations omitted.] “Although a healthy symbiosis is possible, precedents developed in one field should not be injected into another without recognition of the separate principles prevailing in each.” [Citation omitted.] “Scope of employment” defines a more re-' stricted area of employee conduct than the phrase “arising out of and in the course of employment.” [Citations omitted.] Thus, an employee can suffer a compensable injury under workers’ compensation but not be within the scope of employment. [Citation omitted.] If an injury is within the “scope of employment,” it will probably be “arising out of and [occurring] in the course of the employment”; however, the reverse is not true.”
