The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work accident compensation regarding a back injury sustained during a volleyball match played at a company sales meeting. The applicant argued the match was part of the official meeting program, while the insurer contended it was merely a recreational activity. The court ruled that the match lacked the necessary organizational connection to the work duties to qualify as a work accident.
