How would you judge this case?
A woman is away on a business trip. During the trip, she has consensual sex with a male partner at a motel. The motel room was paid for by her employer. But during sex a light fixture is broken off a wall and lands on her face, causing injuries.
Is the woman eligible for worker’s compensation?
An Australian court has decided.
(Thanks to Robert M. for the link.)
No, she’s not entitled to worker’s compensation.
But we need a new entitlement or coverage: sexual compensation.
Perhaps, given today’s culture, I should say that I’m being facetious.
…wondering if it was raucous & rockin’ sex that knocked the light fixture off the wall. And if so, then does the hotel have a claim against…someone…for the damage?
Yah, I’m being facetious, too.
