AI generated
Supreme Court dismissed appeal on work accident claim, upholding evidence assessment under Art. 233 KPC.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker against the Social Insurance Institution regarding a death benefit claim. The lower courts found that the victim's death resulted from a spontaneous cerebral aneurysm rupture, not an external work-related cause, despite her high-stress job conditions. The court ruled that expert opinions correctly excluded stress as a triggering factor and that new evidence regarding pre-employment medical checks could not be introduced in cassation proceedings.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 233 § 1 KPC; Art. 393 § 1 KPC: The scope of evidence assessment is defined by legal requirements and logical reasoning; cassation proceedings strictly control legal correctness without allowing new factual findings or evidence.
