When is a sub-subcontractor an insured (AUS)

An Australian supreme court was faced with the question whether a sub-subcontractor was a named insured or agent of the named insured under a general liability policy relating to demolition work on a construction site where a fire attributed to the conduct of the sub-subcontractor caused damage. The court held that on the policy wording the sub-subcontractor was not covered under the policy. The sub-subcontractor had provided labour to the subcontractor and the workers were controlled by the subcontractor and not doing subcontracted work.
