Supreme Court dismissed cassation against a work accident ruling due to the plaintiff's gross negligence in proximity to tree felling.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a qualified forestry worker against a lower court's decision regarding a workplace accident. The plaintiff argued that his presence four meters from a felled tree was not his sole fault, but the court found he was grossly negligent for being in such close proximity to a tree being cut by another worker. The court ruled that the plaintiff, possessing specific qualifications, should have foreseen the danger and maintained a safe distance, thereby establishing his negligence as the exclusive cause of the accident.
