Description
The facts are undisputed. The defendant, a builder, had employed two or more employees, including the plaintiff, for several months prior to August 20, 1965. On August 20, the defendant discharged two employees, and from that date until Saturday, August 28, the plaintiff was the defendant's only employee. On Tuesday, August 31, the defendant rehired one of the discharged employees, and on the following day he hired two more employees. From September 1, 1965, until well into the month of December, 1965, the defendant had two or more employees. On August 28, however, while the plaintiff was working alone, he sustained a serious back injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. The plaintiff applied for, and the workmen's compensation commissioner awarded him, compensation for this injury. The defendant appealed to the Superior Court, which affirmed the award, and the defendant has taken this appeal from that judgment. Before October 1, 1961, the Workmen's Compensation Act appeared as chapter 566 in the 1958 Revision of the of the General Statutes and embraced, as amended in 1959, 31-139 through 31-221a. Section 31-139 defined an employer, so far as now material, as ""any person . . . within the state using the services of another for pay."" Section
