The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected an employer's claim to exclude accident insurance obligations. The employer argued that the contractor's freedom of action exempted them from mandatory coverage, while the court emphasized the functional purpose of the social insurance law. The court held that when a client strictly determines the work location, the contractor is deemed to work at the client's business premises, triggering mandatory accident insurance.
