Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the insured's appeal regarding the loss of sick pay and rehabilitation benefits. The insured argued for the loss of rights over the entire benefit period, but the court held that the loss applies only to specific periods within the sick leave where work was actually resumed. Consequently, the lower court's decision was upheld, clarifying that medical certificates define the relevant periods for benefit termination.
