The Supreme Court accepted the cassation appeal filed by the defendant municipality against the appellate court's judgment. The plaintiff sought damages from the municipality for injuries sustained due to an act committed by a municipal official. The court ruled that the appeal must be examined on the merits because the lower court failed to properly assess the municipality's liability under the relevant tort provisions.
