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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[N]o one test standing alone, except the right of control in the relationship of employee and employer, and the lack of such right in that of principal and independent contractor is wholly decisive. `... The general test is the right to control and direct the activities of the employee, or the power to control the details of the work to be performed and to determine how it shall be done, and whether it shall stop or continue, that gives rise to the relationship of employer and employee.' ... `An independent contractor ... is one who, in the course of an independent employment, undertakes to perform work subject to the control of the person for whom the work is done only as to the result or product of the work, and not as to the means or methods used.' ... `The right of control by which the nature of the employment is tested is the right to control the work, the details of the work, the manner, ... means or method of doing the work, as contrasted with the result thereof.'" (Citations omitted.)”
