Supreme Court dismisses worker's claim against employer due to lack of standing, not procedural transfer issues.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker against his employer regarding workplace injury compensation. The lower courts correctly identified that the employer lacked standing because the Social Insurance Fund, not the employer, is the liable party under the relevant Act. The Court distinguished this case from a prior precedent where the employer was a socialized entity, confirming that civil courts retain jurisdiction over such disputes regardless of the employer's status.
