A case involved a dispute between an employee and a company over the payment of compensation for damage.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order it to pay compensation for damage for failing to implement medical recommendations and to pay the relevant allowances.
The court refused to consider the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.
The employee appealed by cassation.
Decision
The cassation court stated that the company had maintained before the court that the employee was not able to work in any job aside from the agreed one, therefore, the company had made no mistake by not transferring the employee to another position.
The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
