Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding whether a municipal employee's participation in a football match constituted a work accident. The lower court found the injury occurred during a recreational festival organized by the municipality, where the employee was assigned to drive but also played football against his will. The court ruled that playing football was not a 'normal work activity' for a sewage plant conservator and that no valid work order existed for the match participation.
