The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for work accident compensation because the victim was poisoned while dining at a hotel restaurant after completing his work tasks. The court found the poisoning occurred during leisure time and did not arise from work-related circumstances as required by the Work Accident Insurance Act. Consequently, the court ruled that the injury was not compensable as a work accident, upholding the lower court's decision.

A, jonka yrityksellä oli tapaturmavakuutuslain 57 §:n 1 ja 2 momentin mukainen yrittäjien tapaturmavakuutus, oli usean vuorokauden kestäneellä työmatkallaan mennyt myöhään illalla saman päivän työtehtäviensä jo päätyttyä ruokailemaan asuinpaikkanaan käyttämänsä hotellin ravintolaan. Siellä A oli huumattu tajuttomaksi. A:n tahallinen myrkyttäminen oli tapahtunut hänen vapaa-aikanaan eikä vakuutusehtojen mukaisissa tapaturmavakuutuslain 4 §:n 1 momentissa tarkoitetuissa työstä johtuvissa olosuhteissa. Myrkytystä ei korvattu työtapaturmana. (Äänestys 6-1) III-jaosto KKO myönsi valitusluvan. Ei muutosta. Samoin VakO 1190:95. Laajennettu jaosto. KKO 6.8.1997: ei valituslupaa.
