Supreme Court dismisses occupational disease claim for lung disease based on mold exposure.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claim that the applicant's chronic lung disease constituted an occupational disease caused by mold exposure. The applicant argued that working in a damp environment with mold spores led to the condition, while the employer contended the illness resulted from natural causes unrelated to work. The court ruled that the causal link between the alleged mold exposure and the specific lung pathology was not sufficiently established under the occupational disease regulations.
