Under the [name withheld] principles, an employee injured during an interval or interlude in an overall period of work need only satisfy one of two conditions: that the employer induced or encouraged the employee to be at the particular place, OR to engage in the particular activity. Where the place condition is met (e.g., employer-booked accommodation), the nature of the employee's lawful activity at that place is irrelevant to the course of employment inquiry, unless the conduct amounts to serious and wilful misconduct under the applicable statute. The employer's views about the employee's lawful activities are irrelevant.
