Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the insurance company's appeal regarding its liability for an occupational disease compensation claim. The insured argued the insurer was exempt from payment under specific insurance law provisions, while the insurer contended the exemption applied to the case. The court held that the employer's direct liability for occupational diseases under the Occupational Disease Act takes precedence, rendering the insurance exemption inapplicable to this specific claim.
