Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to transfer a case to the Social Insurance Office. The plaintiff sought to establish a workplace accident against the Social Insurance Office, but the court found that such initial claims fall under administrative review procedures rather than civil litigation. Consequently, the case was not rejected but instead transferred to the Social Insurance Office for proper administrative handling.
