The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim to correct the accident protocol and recognize the event as a work accident. The plaintiff argued that transporting colleagues home after a delayed inventory was an act in the employer's interest, despite lacking explicit orders. The court held that protection under the Work Accident Act covers actions exceeding normal duties if taken in the employer's interest, even without prior knowledge or instruction, and remanded the case for a new decision.
