AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking work accident benefits after receiving a termination letter. The employee argued that the sudden delivery of the dismissal caused immediate health deterioration, while the employer contended this was a routine labor action lacking external causation. The court ruled that handing a dismissal letter is a standard workplace activity, not a sudden external event, and thus does not qualify as a work accident under the relevant statute.
