The Supreme Court partially quashed the lower court's judgment regarding a forester's liability for a missing inventory document. The court found that while the employee was not at fault for the specific loss, the lower court incorrectly limited liability to intentional or negligent fault under specific articles. The Supreme Court ruled that general compensation rules apply regardless of fault, requiring the lower court to examine liability under the general provision.
