The Supreme Court partially upheld the plaintiff's cassation appeal against the District Court's dismissal of her claim for damages. The plaintiff argued that her fixed-rate compensation for medical services did not cover the full scope of her duties, including gynecological and obstetric procedures beyond cytological tests. The Court found the lower appellate court erred by ignoring the disproportion between the fixed fee and the actual work performed, violating procedural rules on evidence and argumentation. Consequently, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the appellate court for a new decision on the costs and the specific amount of the fixed-rate payment.
