So, there must be more to this story. Was there any negligence on the part of the employer? Or did the guy just accidentily fall in? Maybe he had a few snorts of irish whiskey while out on the lake? Did he follow safety guidelines? Were there any safety guidelines? Poor reporting once again by IJ.
I haven\’t read the case, but the article indicates that the Supreme Court denied cert., i.e. they declined to take the case. That is very different from an affirmative decision. According to my understanding, a denial of cert. is not an affirmance of the lower court and has no precedential value for future cases. Therefore, this case will only be the law for courts within the 2nd Circuit.
