Employer liable for after-work accident

A Quebec jury has held an employer 30% liable for injuries sustained by a worker, John Flynn, driving home while drunk. This was despite the employer not having supplied the alcohol and he not showing signs of intoxication while at work. He had gone off to drink in the parking lot during his night shift and it was argued that the company was aware of that illicit practice. Auto-part maker Eaton-Yale is to appeal.
