Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that recognized a death as a work accident. The court held that the employer's violation of the duty to obtain a medical certificate before assigning the employee to work created an external cause for the incident. Consequently, the employer was liable for the death despite the employee's underlying medical condition.
