Background

Claimants filed a case against two companies requesting that the court order the companies to pay them compensation. The claimants stated that their father had died in a car accident and the car was owned by the first company and insured by the second.

The first company then filed a case against the claimants requesting that the court order them to pay amounts it had paid to fix the car.

The court rejected the first company's case and ruled that the two companies pay the claimants blood money.

The companies and claimants appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The companies and claimants appealed by cassation.

Decision

The court of cassation stated that the court has the authority to consider all aspects of a case and evaluate the evidence in order to establish its ruling.

The court therefore dismissed the appeals.
