Supreme Court dismissed cassation appeal regarding late social organization evidence and work accident liability.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a first-instance judgment denying compensation for a work accident. The plaintiff argued that a social organization could not present new evidence after the first trial closed, while the defendant contended the evidence was untimely. The court ruled that while social organizations can join proceedings at any stage, they must accept that new evidence presented late may be disregarded unless they proved objective impossibility of earlier participation.
