Fairly unsurprising decision for France. It's also an "accident du travail" if you are injured on your way to/from work, so surprising that they'd even attempt to dispute a business trip. Basically the only defense an employer would have is if there was negligence e.g. injured in a car accident on the way to work because you're drunk or way over the speed limit.

Basically anything you wouldn't be doing if you didn't have to do it for work would be covered. Includes evening drinks if organised by the firm, so hardly surprising it extends to a business trip.

"an extramarital relationship with a perfect stranger"

Well, if she was perfect then no wonder he had a heart attack ..... what a way to go!

I work for a French company, I’m away on business...I don’t use tinder.

Ah well, 2 outa 3...though it’s nice to know that if I had a heart attack whilst out running in the morning, my family should be taken care of.

That's a relief. I was expecting a thread on the woodchipper accident, or the genitals caught in the belt-sander story

Well, the Crocodile Hunter getting killed by a stingray was ironic. Randy Rhoads plane crashing into Ozzy Osbourne's tourbus was pretty classy.

*resists urge to edit to counter-edit your edit.

No one wants to get into a ninja-edit war here.
