The Supreme Court partially overturned a regional court's decision regarding work accident compensation, ordering a retrial on specific points. The plaintiff argued for rates applicable at the time of the accident, while the defendant contended for later rates. The court ruled that when the work accident itself is disputed, the applicable compensation rates must be those in force at the date of the court's judgment.
