In the same problem, has X the right to ask indemnity from R, employer of X, on the ground that when the accident occurred X was then on his way to transact business with a client of R?

Sagot :

In this case, X does not have the right to claim indemnification against R. When an employee is injured while traveling to perform services for his/her employer, he/she cannot file a lawsuit against his/her employer. The reason behind this rule is because the employee had agreed to work without compensation during travel time. Therefore, the employee should seek compensation through other means (e.g., workers' compensation).
