- DCEC599/1997
At common law the deceased was not in the course of his employment because his journey was ordinary travel to/from work for personal/social purposes and not incidental to his employment; s.5(4)(d) does not apply because the transport at the time of the accident was a common taxi hired by the deceased and not operated by or on behalf of the employer or pursuant to arrangements made with the employer; accordingly the claim fails.
