Civil court ruling that work injury compensation for retraining covers only police school, not university studies.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court decision limiting work injury compensation for retraining. The plaintiff, who lost his right hand in a workplace accident, sought to cover the full cost of university studies to become a tourist guide or IT specialist. The court held that compensation under Article 444 § 1 of the Civil Code is strictly compensatory and must restore the victim's ability to earn a living, which was already achieved upon completing the police vocational school. Consequently, costs for higher education beyond that point were deemed unrelated to the injury and thus inadmissible.
