Supreme Court dismisses lawyer's work accident claim, ruling individual practice lawyers are not employees under work injury law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a lawyer against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a work accident compensation. The court found that the Work Injury Act does not apply to lawyers practicing individually or jointly, as they do not meet the definition of employees under the relevant social security laws. Consequently, the court held that the statutory provisions granting work injury benefits to individual practitioners were not intended to cover such cases.
