The Supreme Court quashed the Regional Court's judgment and the District Court's appeal decision, remanding the case to the District Court. The employer sought a refund of work accident compensation paid to the deceased employee's family, arguing the social insurance fund should reimburse the payment. The District Court incorrectly assumed subject-matter jurisdiction over this refund claim, which falls under social insurance disputes exclusively reserved for the District Court. The Supreme Court ruled that because the Regional Court lacked jurisdiction, its entire proceedings were void and the case must be retried from the beginning by the proper court.
