Supreme Court rules cooperative store is not a socialized workplace for work accident compensation purposes.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a food cooperative qualifies as a socialized workplace for work accident compensation. The Social Insurance Institution denied Janina Ś.'s claim because the accident was not reported immediately, while the plaintiff argued the cooperative's social activities made it a socialized entity. The court held that the statutory definition of a socialized workplace does not apply to cooperatives and that work accident benefits are owed to all employers regardless of their socialized status.
