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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “There are at least two categories of “statutory employers” that the Act recognizes. One of these classes of statutory employers is created by § 8^48-102(1), which provides that an owner of real property, who contracts to have “any work done on and to said property,” is to be considered the employer of the contractor and of his employees. However, exempted from this provision is: “the owner of a private home who contracts out any work done to or about said home.” Thus, if the work being performed at the time of plaintiffs injuries is considered as being done “to or about” a “pri vate home,” defendant fell within this exception to § 8-48-102(1), and he would not be considered to be a statutory employer. If, on the other hand, the structure cannot be considered to be a private home, defendant must be deemed to have been plaintiffs statutory employer and immune from suit under § 8-42-102.”
