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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Moreover, the truck was driven by Belyea’s employee. It is not to be denied that in an action for personal injuries caused by the negligence of an employee while operating his employer’s motor car it is reasonable to infer that the use of the vehicle was authorized by the owner and that the employee was acting within the scope of his employment. (Shields v. Oxnard Harbor District, 46 Cal.App.2d 477, 487 [ 116 P.2d 121 ]; Bushnell v. Tashiro, 115 Cal.App. 563, 565 [ 2 P.2d 550 ]; Blank v. Coffin, 20 Cal.2d 457, 460 [ 126 P.2d 868 ].) The general manager of Belyea testified that Wright was in the employ of Belyea on November 15, and that he was at the shop all day of the 14th.””
