The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for full reimbursement of a Swiss-purchased drug following a workplace accident. The plaintiff argued that the employer should cover all necessary medical costs, while the court noted that the employer bears no civil liability for the accident. The court ruled that since the employer is not at fault, the employee cannot claim full civil compensation without proving the employer's civil liability.
