Supreme Court quashes work accident ruling due to insufficient evidence on physical exertion and employee's post-vacation condition.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision recognizing a heart attack as a work-related accident, remanding the case for a new trial. The lower court failed to adequately assess the physical exertion required by the employee, who was 42 years old and working the day after returning from a two-week vacation. The Supreme Court held that the medical expert's opinion was incomplete without specific details on the employee's physical capabilities and the exact nature of the work performed.
