Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling courts need not consider new evidence if facts are sufficiently clarified.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker seeking disability pension for work-related injuries. The appellant argued that the lower court violated procedural rules by ignoring a new expert opinion from the Institute of Occupational Medicine. The court held that the disputed circumstances regarding the causal link between the 1985 accident and the disability were already sufficiently clarified by four expert teams in previous proceedings. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court correctly omitted the new evidence request under the relevant procedural code.
