The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a dispute over whether a worker's death constituted a work accident. The lower court relied on a factual presumption that an external cause caused the fall, despite established facts showing the victim suffered from severe internal illness and vomiting. The court ruled that such a presumption was invalid because it lacked logical prerequisites and contradicted expert opinions excluding external triggers.
