AI generated

The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the claim, ruling that an assault by an ex-spouse constitutes a work-related accident. The court found that the temporal and spatial connection between the workplace and the incident was sufficient under the relevant statute, regardless of the lack of causal link to the employer's activities. Consequently, the employer was held liable for the employee's injuries sustained during the attack.
