This was one hell of a business trip

A French worker died after sex on a business trip. His company is liable.

By Palko Karasz The New York Times Company, 4:26 PM
LONDON — A court in France has ruled that a man who died from a heart attack after having sex during a business trip had suffered a work-related accident and that his employer was liable.

The man, who was identified in court documents only as Xavier, traveled in 2013 to the Loiret region in central France as a security technician for the rail engineering company TSO. After work one night, he had sex with a woman at her house before returning to his hotel. He later died from a heart attack said to have been linked to the encounter.

A health insurance fund decided that the death resulted from a work-related accident, but TSO appealed, saying that the employee had interrupted his work trip for an adulterous relationship, and had therefore acted outside the company’s purview.

The Court of Appeal in Paris upheld the insurance fund’s decision in a ruling released in May, but the case only gained public attention after the details were published last week on LinkedIn by a French lawyer, Sarah Balluet, who specializes in labor disputes.

Like that of other countries, French law considers any accident that happens on a business trip to be work-related, even if the activity is not closely related to the employee’s mission.

The court in Paris said that the law protected employees engaged in everyday activities for the entirety of any such trip, unless they interrupted planned business activities. It heard from the insurance fund that sex was part of everyday life, “like having a shower or a meal,” and that the employee, therefore, was covered by work-related protections while on the trip.

Finding that TSO could not show a schedule proving that the man was supposed to be working at the time, the court upheld the insurance fund claim.

“This ruling is without precedent,” Balluet wrote, adding that the case should be reviewed by a higher court. “Obviously, in this case, considering that the heart failure happened in a situation outside of professional activity, the ruling is questionable,” she added.

Interesting, but, they're not nearly as powerful as this video makes them out to be...they most likely work for the real mob.

Man that is one sick MF. How can he sleep at night? I'm glad to hear he's in jail without bail. May they keep him there until he grows old.

There’s a new Jeopardy Super Champ, Jason Zuffranieri. $437,096 in 16 games (3rd highest money winner in regular play behind Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer). He has a similar strategy as James, starting at the bottom of the board at big money and seeking out Daily Doubles. He doesn’t wager as much as James did, but he’s fun to watch.
