Ils sont completement dinge, ces francais.

A French company has been found liable for the death of an employee who had a cardiac arrest while having sex with a stranger on a business trip.

A Paris court ruled that his death was an industrial accident and that the family was entitled to compensation.

The firm had argued the man was not carrying out professional duties when he joined a guest in her hotel room.

"The provider defended its position by insisting that sexual activity was normal, "like taking a shower or a meal"."

A refreshing attitude, but I still disagree with the ruling. lol

this is so far distant from how this ruling would go in the US that it is hilarious.

It should be hilarious anywhere but, unfortunately, I've seen similar decisions elsewhere including British Columbia.

I wonder if the French business was comping hookers. It's the only way I could see liability. Still--it's hilarious. Can you imagine the widow filling out the forms? "You got my husband laid and he croaked. you owe me money."
