How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that this factor favored independent-contractor status when the agreement did not grant the hospital power to dismiss the doctors from the hospital or from their employer
• noting that “the mere existence of a contract” will not resolve whether the relationship is that of master and servant; rather, “particular contractual terms” per- taining to the issue of the “power of control” are relevant
• applying a similar test to Guhlke and holding that this factor favored independent-contractor status when a hospital did not pay the doctors directly but reimbursed the doctors’ employer
