Slip and Fall Not All in a Day's Work - Telstra Protected as Federal Court Upholds Decision Against Employee

CASE REVIEW [ Dring v Telstra Corporation Ltd [2021] FCAFC 50 ]

-- SUMMARY --

Ms. Dring, Telstra Employee, was enjoying an interstate work trip when she found herself with a hip injury following a slip and fall at 2:30am in the lobby of her hotel. Having recently finished up a long night of socialising and with alcohol in her system, the case begged the question - should her employer be responsible for her injury?

In today's episode, hear two opposing views as Abe Ghaleb and Daniel D'Onofrio discuss the contentious circumstances surrounding the recent Full Federal Court's decision.

Were her social activities before the slip contributing factors? Was the employment nexus broken? Will Ms. Dring be granted special leave to appeal? Listen to find out the answers and thoughts to these and more.
