Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling lower court must consider prior final accident-at-work verdict under Code of Civil Procedure.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, ordering the lower court to reconsider the case based on a prior final judgment. The plaintiff argued her dismissal was invalid due to a workplace accident, while the lower court initially found the incident caused by internal factors. The Supreme Court held that a final judgment on prejudicial facts binds the Supreme Court and must be considered ex officio, as it alters the legal status regarding the employer's obligations. Consequently, the lower court was instructed to re-evaluate the dismissal in light of the established accident-at-work finding.
