Supreme Court of New Jersey

Annie E. Hulley v. Herman F. Moosbrugger

November 15, 191588 N.J.L. 161

Summary

The Court held that an employer is not liable under the Workmen's Compensation Act for injuries resulting from horse‑play or sky‑larking, because such accidents, while occurring in the course of employment, do not arise out of the employment. The decision reversed the lower court's judgment.
