Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's refusal of work accident compensation. The lower court correctly awarded benefits based on Article 32 of the Work Accident Act, despite the social insurance office arguing the employer should pay because the factory was privatized after the accident. The Supreme Court ruled that the cassation argument claiming the lower court failed to apply the now-unconstitutional paragraph one of Article 32 was invalid, as the decision's result was legally sound.
