Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a final ruling by the Court of Appeal in a work accident compensation case. The appellant argued that the lower court violated procedural rules by failing to interview him before a medical expert's opinion, claiming this affected the outcome. The court rejected this, stating that for final second-instance decisions, cassation is automatically heard in closed sessions regardless of the appeal's basis, and that the expert's opinion was based on specialized knowledge where witness testimony was unnecessary.
