C. M. Duus v. Thore Duus and Another

Employe not barred by § 4291 from recovery under compensation act. An employer engaged in running a meat market is not engaged in a ""related purpose in operation on the premises"" with the hotel proprietor, cafe operator or contractor making repairs on a hotel building within the meaning of G.S. 1923 (1 Mason, 1927) § 4291, where the employe of the market, while attempting to deliver meat to the cafe in the hotel, was injured by a wheelbarrow falling from a hoist erected in front of the building by the contractor; and the employe is not barred by said § 4291 from compensation under the workmen's compensation act, by the recovery and collection of a judgment against such proprietor, operator and contractor for a less amount than the compensation to which he would be entitled from his own employer under the act, where none of the judgment debtors were engaged in facilitating the delivery of the meat or furnishing any facilities therefor.
