The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision denying work accident compensation to a mother whose son died. The court found that the son, who lived with a cohabiting partner and her children, did not maintain a joint household with his mother despite being registered at her address. The court ruled that economic and family ties, not mere registration, define a joint household, and the son's lack of significant financial contribution to his mother's support invalidated her claim.
