The Supreme Court accepted the State Forests' cassation appeal against the appellate court's judgment. The State Forests argued that the insurance company failed to prove the fire was caused by its insured activities, while the insurer contended it was an excluded natural disaster. The court ruled that the burden of proof regarding the cause of the fire lay with the insurer, leading to the acceptance of the appeal for further review.
