The Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's judgment, remanding the case regarding the commissioner's liability for damages while dismissing the appeal on other grounds. The plaintiff sought compensation for benefits improperly taken by the defendant, who acted as a temporary administrator of a state-owned enterprise. The court held that the defendant could not be expected to possess all specialized knowledge regarding the factory's operations, requiring a lower standard of fault assessment than for regular employees.
