Background

A claimant filed a case against a defendant requesting that the court order the defendant to pay an amount of money. The claimant stated that he had been injured during the course of his work.

The court rejected the case.

The claimant appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The claimant appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the claimant argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as the court rejected the case based on the argument that his injury was not included in the appendix of blood money, however Prime Minister Decision No. 15/1983 should not deprive him from receiving compensation.

The court held that this argument was invalid as the case documents revealed that the injury was not one that the state should have borne responsibility for.

The court therefore dismissed the appeal.
