The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for a retrial because the first-instance court failed to order appropriate medical expert testimony. The applicant argued that the disability was established in October 1994, but the lower court relied on an insufficient opinion from an internist-reumatologist instead of a surgeon. The court ruled that the lower court violated procedural rules by not following the appellate court's instructions to clarify the disability's onset and composition, necessitating a new evidentiary phase.
