Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying agricultural insurance compensation for a finger amputation. The claimant argued that preparing food for her family constituted agricultural work, but the court held that such activities are distinct from farming operations. The court ruled that extending coverage to all daily life activities on a farm would violate the principle of equality and the specific definition of agricultural work in the relevant statute.
