This phrase was said to mean ‘connected with, subserving and being ancillary to’ (Hatrick & Co. v. R (1923)). The test was applied in Kearney v. General Accident (1968) when an employee fell while painting roof trusses of a building. The employers’ liability policy excluded ‘any work in connection with roofs other than of private dwellings and/or shops… of not more than three floors. The judge considered that the painting of the trusses and the underside of the outer cover was ‘connected with, subserving or ancillary to’ work in connection with the roof.
