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.

But under French law an employer is responsible for any accident occurring during a business trip, judges said.

The man, named as Xavier X, was working as an engineer for TSO, a railway services company based near Paris.

He died at a hotel during a trip to central France in 2013, as a result of what the employer called "an extramarital relationship with a perfect stranger".

The company challenged a decision by the state health insurance provider to regard the death as a workplace accident.

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

In its ruling, the Paris appeals court upheld this view.



She must have been incredible.

Well that's pretty cut and dry then, isn't it? Literally nothing to be upset with.

Law needs changing then if it's enforced that strictly. There are obvious differences between dying as a direct result of a trip and just happening to have a heart attack while on a trip that would not be a risk factor for such things.

Well in his case a lawyer i suppose could argue thr stress of working at a prison all them years and being home that but knowing he could be called at any moment stressed him enough to cause it.

Yeah Europe is great for actually holding companies accountable for their bullshit, but they do tend to go a bit overboard at times like in this case.

Making a company pay money because one of their employees decided to cheat on his wife and wasn't in good enough physical shape for sex isn't their fault. Just because he was on a business trip doesn't mean they are responsible for every stupid thing he does.

He was on a business trip

If it hadn't been for the business trip, he wouldn't have died from sex then and there

Ergo the company is responsible
