Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower courts' dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for a disability vehicle, remanding the case for a new assessment of costs. The plaintiff, a work accident victim, argued that the vehicle was essential for his medical treatment and business activities, while lower courts rejected it as merely a convenience. The Court ruled that the statutory obligation of compensation under Article 444 § 1 of the Civil Code mandates full restitution of all necessary expenses, thereby covering the vehicle's purchase price.
