Background

A claimant made a complaint against a company before the Labour Department and stated that her husband used to work with the company and was injured at work and died. The claimant requested the department to order the company to pay compensation.

The court ruled the company should pay the claimant 10000 Dinars and this amount should be distributed to his heirs according to their legal share.

The claimant and the company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

The court of cassation repealed the ruling and appointed a doctor to review the case.

The court of cassation stated the medical report and other documents revealed that the injury which resulted in death had happened during work.

The court upheld the elementary ruling.
