Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a second-instance judgment denying work-related accident compensation. The appellant argued the lower court erred in fact-finding and violated procedural rules by not holding new evidence hearings. The court held that the second instance judge could establish facts based on existing materials under Article 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the appellant's departure from work at noon broke the direct link to his home.
