The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that denied work accident status to a postman assaulted at a private residence. The court found that the employee voluntarily left her workplace for a private coffee appointment, thereby severing the necessary connection between the incident and her employment duties. Consequently, the court held that accidents occurring during such private breaks cannot be classified as work-related accidents under the relevant statute.
