Firm liable for business trip death during sex
A French company has been found liable for the death of an employee who had a cardiac arrest while having sex with a stranger on a business trip.
A Paris court ruled that his death was an industrial accident and that the family was entitled to compensation.
The firm had argued the man was not carrying out professional duties when he joined a guest in her hotel room.
But under French law an employer is responsible for any accident occurring during a business trip, judges said.
Well our Gallic friends have always been a bit more relaxed about Le Shag than we have. I do wonder what his bosses could have done to prevent this unfortunate accident.
