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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The test of ‘continuity,’ so as to take the case out of the operation of the statute, seems not to depend so much upon continuous day-by-day performance, but rather is to be determined by the answers to the following questions: Were all the services performed under one contract, whether express or implied, with no' definite' time' fixed for payment, or were they rendered under several separate contracts? In Crampton v. Logan, supra, it was said: ‘Where no certain time is fixed for payment, or when the contract shall end', or where, as in this case, the evidence tends to support the theory that compensation was to be made to appellee at the death of Knight, if not before, the contract, whether express or implied, should be considered and treated as a continuous one, and the statute of limitations would not begin to run until the services were ended.’ ””
