Compensation – Work Injury
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a company over the payment of his salaries and compensation for a work injury.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order the company to pay his salaries and compensation for a work injury.
The court rejected the case for not being filed under the correct procedures.
The employee appealed and the appeal court referred the case back to the lower court.
The court ruled that the company pay the employee 9215.011 Dinars.
The company appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.
The company appealed by cassation.
Decision
The court of cassation repealed the ruling and determined a session to consider the case.
The court concluded that the employee had been injured during the course of his work.
The court therefore ruled that the company pay the employee 4048.345 Dinars.
