Penrith City Council v Healey [2016] NSWCA 161

In the recent case of Penrith City Council v Healey the NSW Court of Appeal was required to resolve interesting issues involving an injury sustained in the performance of a council contract by a worker on an internal labour hire arrangement. The labour hire policy exclusion clause was strictly interpreted against the liability insurer of the internal labour hire company, which won on appeal anyway due to a finding that it had not been negligent.
