Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to reduce compensation for a work accident victim. The plaintiff argued that his pre-existing illness contributed to the accident, but the court ruled that an independent illness unrelated to his conduct cannot be considered contributory negligence. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the case was remanded for a new trial to properly assess damages.
