Self-disability does not exclude compensatory pension when it also stems from a prohibited act under Civil Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision and remanded the case for recalculation of the compensatory pension. The plaintiff argued that his self-induced epilepsy should not reduce his compensation for a work accident, while the lower courts initially focused on his total inability to work. The court ruled that the statutory method for calculating such pensions applies regardless of whether the disability is self-induced, provided it coexists with the work-related injury.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedart. 444 § 2 k.c.; art. 398 § 1 k.p.c.: Self-induced disability does not preclude the establishment of a compensatory pension when it also results from a prohibited act, as the statutory calculation method remains applicable.
