The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the defendant against a lower court's decision recognizing an event as a work accident. The plaintiff argued for compensation based on injuries sustained while working, while the defendant contended the claim was time-barred under Article 291 of the Labor Code. The court held that claims to establish the nature of an event as a work accident do not expire under the same statute as monetary compensation claims.
