The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a labor accident compensation award. The appellant argued that the lower courts failed to consider the employee's potential negligence regarding the fall from a platform. The court ruled that cassation proceedings are strictly limited to legal errors and do not permit a re-examination of factual findings established by lower courts. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the claim of contributory negligence was not raised during the initial proceedings.
