The Supreme Court quashed lower court rulings that treated a Social Insurance medical disability assessment as binding on the employer. The employer argued that such medical opinions were final and could not be challenged in court, while the plaintiff contended they were merely preparatory. The court held that these medical opinions are not legally binding on the employer or the judiciary, allowing the employer to dispute the degree of disability and the work accident connection during the civil trial.
