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.
According to the court transcript the fitting was pulled from its mount either by the woman or by her acquaintance.
The important test case was brought by Comcare, the government's insurer, which said it centred on whether the woman was "considered ‘in the course of employment’ for workers’ compensation purposes."
The ruling, which would have flow-on effects for other compensation cases, shows that in order to be eligible for compensation Australian workers must be "expressly or impliedly induced or encouraged by the employer" to undertake an activity which leads to injury.

There was no suggestion that the sexual activity was work-related.
Does that mean she wasn’t having sex with a co-worker?
I am still trying to figure out how they could be having sex and pulling on a light fixture at the same time.
She’s screwed
Sonds like some ‘Footprints on the Ceiling’ stuff going on.

Maybe one of them pulled on the cord or the mounting? I don’t see how it could be a ceiling fixture, so it was probably wall-mounted above the bed’s headboard.
One of them was just trying to stay balanced.
Technically, she was ensconced.
swinging from the chandeliers comes to mind
There’s a joke about how many bureaucrats it takes to change a light bulb in there somewhere.
But that's when you're just supposed to push it back in.
The Kama Sutra listed it as "Two points of light".
Excellent. No one can hold a candle to your punnery.
My brother once had a job reviewing claims for a major health insurance company. The large daily stack of claims from people claiming they were injured during sex was the most entertaining part of his job.
This is precisely why the trapeze above my bed is bolted directly to reinforced ceiling joists.
Oops. I’ve said too much ...

she was lucky and lamp in the face was all that happened if that is what happened
This is the photo that comes to mind for this thread, but I can’t post pictures...

Tell me about it.
I once lived next door to a cute blonde law student who needed considerable daily stress relief (seriously, up to six or seven times a day) and was a screamer.
Never heard a peep out of her boyfriend tho. Until the day HE screamed. Then quickly left (assumed after getting dressed) ... could be heard stumbling/limping down the hallway sobbing in agony.
Didn’t hear anything from her apartment again until she moved out at thecend of the term.
