odd lot doctrine

odd-lot doctrine. Workers’ compensation. The doctrine that permits a finding of total disability for an injured claimant who, though able to work sporadically, cannot obtain regular employment and steady income and is thus considered an “odd lot” in the labor market. [Cases: Workers’ Compensation 847. C.J.S. Workmen’s Compensation §§ 558–559.]
