Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal regarding a workplace accident claim. The employer argued the employee concealed a knee injury and lacked the capacity for her job, but the court held that the burden of proving fitness for work lies with the employer. The employee had fulfilled her obligation by undergoing the required medical examination, which provided sufficient evidence of her capacity to work.
