Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the police officer's cassation appeal regarding a traffic accident occurring after his duty ended. The lower courts established that the officer took a private visit to a colleague's home, interrupting his direct route to his residence before the accident occurred. The court ruled that this personal interruption invalidated the 'direct route' requirement for work-related accident compensation under the relevant statute.
