The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's refusal of disability pension and compensation for a workplace accident. The court found that the worker's morning commute to a childcare center was not functionally connected to her afternoon school job, despite her intent to return the child to facilitate work. Consequently, the court ruled that the accident did not constitute a 'workplace accident' under the relevant regulation.
