The Supreme Court dismissed the request to bind the social security body to a final labor court judgment regarding a work accident protocol. The court found that the social security body, acting as a party in its own proceedings, is not legally bound by a separate civil judgment altering the accident protocol. Consequently, the court ruled that such a judgment lacks preclusive effect in the social security compensation case.

art. 365 § 1 k.p.c.; art. 366 k.p.c.: A final judgment rendered in a civil action by an employee against an employer to establish or modify a work accident protocol does not bind the social security body adjudicating a separate claim for benefits, as the body retains its status as a party and the judgment lacks preclusive effect in that specific proceeding.
