Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the insurance company's request to revoke its decision regarding a worker's accident compensation. The court held that under the Accident Compensation Act, the insurer only has the authority to decide on re-examination when the issue concerns the amount of compensation, not the liability itself. Consequently, the insurer's decision was not a revocable administrative ruling, and the appeal was inadmissible.

VAKO oli jättänyt asian uudelleen käsittelemistä koskevan vakuutusyhtiön anomuksen tutkimatta, koska se voi tapaturmavakuutuslain 45 §:n nojalla päättää asian uudelleen käsittelemisestä ainoastaan, mikäli oli kysymys korvauksen suuruudesta. Vakuutusyhtiö oli hakenut päätöksen purkamista KKO:lta. I -jaosto KKO 12.2.1960: Vakuutusyhtiön työntekijän tapaturmakorvausta koskevassa asiassa antamaa päätöstä ei voida pitää sellaisena viranomaisen antamana ratkaisuna, joka voitaisiin purkaa. Vakuutusyhtiön purkuhakemus jätettiin tutkimatta.
