AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking a court determination of his occupational disease. Although the administrative inspector had ruled the disease did not exist, the civil court was not bound by this decision and could independently assess the medical facts. The court held that the plaintiff lacked a legal interest in having the disease's character determined by a civil court, as he could fully protect his rights through a separate claim for benefits or civil damages.
