Observing that at least eight of the ten factual inquiries as to borrowed employee status pointed toward an employment relationship between the plaintiff, who sustained injuries within two hours of first reporting for work, and the defendant, which had contracted with an employment staffing agency to provide staffing at the defendant's facility, a Louisiana appellate court reversed a decision by a state trial court denying the defendant's motion for summary judgment. The court reviewed the ten-factor test underlying borrowed employment status found in Perry v. Perry & Sons Vault & Grave Service, 03-1519, p. 8 (La.App. 3 Cir. 5/12/04), 872 So.2d 611, 617, and found that in the instant case the factors predominated in favor of the employe-employer relationship. Summary judgment should have been rendered in favor of the defendant.
