The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal to declare a workplace struggle a work accident and grant vacation leave. The plaintiff, a speech therapist, physically struggled with a secretary over documents without the director's consent, an act deemed contrary to the employer's interest. The court ruled that such mutual shoving does not constitute a work accident under the relevant statute unless it serves the employer's interest or is strictly connected to work duties.
