1999Richmond argued on appeal that Benchmark was not the type of contractor afforded protection of the statutory employer's exclusivity defense pursuant to Doubleday, Nash, Falls, and Magee v. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp., 551 So.2d 182, 184 (Miss.1989) (ruling that where the defendant was not required under the Act to provide workers' compensation insurance on the injured plaintiff, defendant could "not gain tort immunity by assuming compensation obligations which in fact and in law it did not have.").

2002This Court, subsequent to Miller v. McRae's, Inc., 444 So.2d 368 (Miss.1984), stated the two prongs of the exclusivity test as joined by the word "and." See, e.g., Peaster v. David New Drilling Co., 642 So.2d 344 (Miss.1994); Griffin v. Futorian Corp., 533 So.2d 461, 463 (Miss.1988). ¶ 13.
