The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a plaintiff against a lower court's refusal to recognize a stroke as a work accident. The plaintiff argued procedural violations and misinterpretation of the Work Accident Act, claiming internal and external factors combined caused the illness. The court held that the lower courts correctly conducted evidence proceedings and found no external cause, as experts ruled the stroke resulted from internal conditions.
