The Court affirmed the trial judge's findings that the four deceased were within the course of their employment (supervisor was on duty; other employees were asked by management to play with a regular customer and remained because of manpower needs) and that the arson targeted the club premises so that the premises became a dangerous spot; consequently the deaths arose out of and in the course of employment under Cap.282, s5(1) (and s5(6) supports the finding in the absence of contrary evidence).
