The Supreme Court ruled that compensation claims for workplace accidents suffered by prisoners are not labor law matters. The plaintiff argued for labor law jurisdiction based on administrative provisions, but the Court clarified that prisoners are not employees. Consequently, the Court allowed supplementary civil claims based on tort liability while dismissing the labor law classification.
