Is there any case law where a plaintiff labourer was not employed at the date of the accident?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from Savoie v. Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company, 2008 NBQB 72 (CanLII):

In Bissky v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia 1987 CarswellBC 247, the plaintiff labourer was not employed on the date of the accident. As in Proctor, he had worked irregular hours and not on all working days. It was not these factors that the court found disqualified the plaintiff as an employed person but rather it was the fact that the plaintiff had not been a full-time employee of any one employer during that year. He had been the employee of seven different employers.
