Background

An employee filed a case against two companies requesting that the court order them to pay him compensation for a work injury.

The first company filed a case against the second company requesting that the court order it to pay the value of compensation.

The court ruled that the first company pay the employee 15407.666 Dinars and rejected the first company's case.

Both companies appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The first company appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the company argued that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation as it had maintained before the court that the insurance documents did not cover the injury as it had taken place outside the work location.

The court held that this argument was invalid as the insurance document stipulated that the company should compensate employees for work injuries whether the injury takes place in the work location or outside it.

The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
