The Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal and ordered the employee to repay the disputed compensation. The employee had received funds based on a final, enforceable second-instance judgment that was later overturned by the Supreme Court due to cassation. The court held that the obligation to return the money arises immediately upon the invalidation of the judgment, regardless of the employer's delay in demanding repayment.
