A lower court determined that a worker, injured in an accident while performing tasks outside the scope of their employment contract but tolerated by the employer, was entitled to compensation under the relevant occupational accident legislation because the employer, by tolerating these actions, implicitly recognized the activity as being within the necessary sphere of work relations, thereby extending the application of the protection regime; the high court quashed this decision, reasoning that the employer's mere tolerance of activities clearly unrelated to the contract does not legally equate to an agreement or recognition that such activities were part of the employment, and thus, the necessary causal link for occupational injury compensation was not established.
