Subject: ODG: Rebuttal of Mersey Docks Presumption

Colleagues:
 
Does anyone know of any 20th century English case in which the Mersey Dock presumption (indicating that a general employer should be vicariously liable rather than the temporary employer) was rebutted? I know of Hawley after Viasystems but is there anything before?
 
All the best,
