Supreme Court allows farmer's death aid claim as neighbor's local mutual help falls under social insurance protection.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal and allowed the claim for a one-time disability benefit regarding the insured farmer's death. The lower court initially denied the claim because the deceased's neighbor, who received a pension, was not covered by social insurance. The Supreme Court ruled that mutual local assistance between farmers constitutes ordinary agricultural activities protected by law, regardless of the recipient's insurance status. Consequently, the death was recognized as a work accident, and the benefit was granted.
