On an unspecified date in 2023, a stable hand employed by Ben Yole stables in Tasmania sustained serious injuries in a vehicle crash at 1:45 AM while returning from Elwick racecourse in Hobart after a 20-hour workday. The crash resulted in the death of four horses and injuries to three other vehicle occupants.
The Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT) has ruled in favor of the worker, finding that the crash occurred during the execution of his work duties and ordering Ben Yole stables to provide compensation for injuries and ongoing costs.
