Written by the judges who cited it.

The opinion

I concur with the majority's decision that APAC-Mississippi, Inc., was entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. I write specially to applaud the majority's recognition and application of the wisdom found in the decision of Webster v. Mississippi Publishers Corp., 571 So.2d 946 (Miss. 1990), and the acknowledgement of a majority of this Court that W.J. Runyon Son, Inc. v. Davis, is not the preeminent authority to be utilized in determining the status of independent contractors.
