Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court ruling that awarded work accident compensation to the deceased's family. The deceased, who had finished business activities at 18:00, died in a traffic accident on his way home, which the lower court correctly classified as occurring after the cessation of work duties. The court held that the statutory definition of a work accident excludes events happening on the return journey to the home after completing professional tasks, distinguishing this from accidents occurring during the commute to work.
