The court ruled in favor of a military insurance court member who slipped and fractured a rib while traveling to his official duty. The defense argued the injury occurred outside official duties, but the court determined the member was acting under his consent to serve as a military member. Consequently, the court classified the incident as a work-related accident under the relevant insurance law and ordered compensation.
