The Supreme Court of Justice denied the request for review, ruling that establishing the causal link in an accident is a matter of fact. The parties argued over the accident's cause, but the court held that determining factual causation falls outside the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. Consequently, the review was rejected because the issue requires factual assessment rather than legal interpretation.
