The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected her claim for work injury compensation. The plaintiff argued that the forest office failed to provide safe working conditions, but the court found her husband was employed by a separate contractor, not the forest office. Consequently, the court held that the forest office bears no liability under the Work Injury Act because the accident involved an employee of a different employer.
