Engaged in Employment

The Superior Court decision in Collings v. Jew, 2008 CanLII 38259 (ON S.C.) deals with the interesting, albeit very narrow, issue of whether a person working out of town, on behalf of her employer, is engaged in her employment when driving from the day's work to the hotel she was staying at. The Court held she was saying:


[11] Accordingly, the narrow question to which I referred at the outset is whether the drive from the locale of the training session to the hotel contains the required connection or nexus to the employment of Christine Jew by Newell. I find that it does. It is not that the activities of Christine Jew while in Toronto were inexorably tied to her employment.
