The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work injury compensation because the injury occurred during a sports training session organized by the employer during working hours. The plaintiff, an employee of a theater foundation, sustained a leg injury while participating in the event, but the court found no direct causal link between the employment duties and the accident. Consequently, the court ruled that the injury did not qualify as a work-related accident under the relevant insurance regulations.
