The appellant appealed a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision denying him income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The central issue was the interpretation of the term 'employed' under section 5(1) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The appellant argued for a broad interpretation encompassing the formal employment relationship, even though he had not worked or received wages for months prior to his formal termination.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the adjudicators correctly interpreted 'employed' in its statutory context as requiring the exchange of wages for services.
