The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for compensation after the insured fell from a motorboat during a trip to Marmaris, Turkey. Although the trip was organized by a business school, the court ruled it did not qualify as study-related travel under the relevant Act. Consequently, the state office's original decision to deny coverage was upheld without modification.
