Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America v. Cannon

This case is governed by the so-called “borrowed servant” rule which has been stated as follows: “When one person lends his servant to another for a particular employment, the servant, for anything done in that particular employment, must be dealt with as the servant of the man to whom he is lent, although he remains the general servant of the person who lent him. In other words, the servant of A may, for a particular purpose or on a particular occasion, be the servant of B, though he continues to be the general servant of A and is paid by him for his work.” 1 Labatt, Master & Servant, s. 57.
