The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Maria S. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of benefits for her husband's death. The court found that the fatal accident occurred on a return trip where the employee deviated from the direct route to his home, traveling in the opposite direction without justification. Consequently, the court ruled that the incident did not constitute a work-related accident under the relevant regulations.
