File this under 'really! Trial bench, what were you thinking`:
Australia's highest court has ruled a bureaucrat injured while having sex on a work trip is not entitled to workers' compensation. An Australian woman has lost her bid for compensation for an injury while having sex in a motel room. The bureaucrat, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was hospitalised in November 2007 after a glass light fitting above a bed she was having sex in fell onto her face injuring her nose and mouth. The woman also suffered psychological injury. The woman was visiting a regional office observing the budget review process, meeting regional staff and undertaking training — and staying in a motel room booked by her employer.

The woman was originally granted compensation by the Full Bench of the Federal Court in December of last year, a decision the High Court has now reversed.
