Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the State's cassation appeal against a judgment awarding damages to heirs of a deceased employee. The heirs lost their right to free shares because they failed to submit a timely acquisition declaration, a mistake caused by misleading information and procedural errors from the State and its agent. The court ruled that while the heirs' inaction was the direct cause of losing the right, the State remains liable for compensation because it failed in its duty to correctly inform and guide the employees.
