In Temple v. Aviva Insurance Company of Canada, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador determined that the plaintiff, a seasonal worker, was not employed at the date of the motor vehicle accident. As a result, he did not qualify for loss of income payments under Section B of Newfoundland and Labrador’s standard automobile insurance policy. In its decision, the court clarified the test for determining when a seasonal worker meets the policy’s condition of being employed.
