By Order No 32473 of the Labour Chamber of 8 November 2021, the Court of Cassation stated that there must be necessary causal link between the work activity and the accident the accident suffered by a worker must be compensated by the INAIL.
The case is the result of an appeal to the high court by the INAIL, which opposed compensation for the accident of a female worker who, after stamping the card, went with the colleges to have a coffee at the nearby bar; She was injured when she fell and suffered injuries to her wrist.
The Corte di Cassazione (Court of Cassation), ruling on the appeal lodged by INAIL, upheld the argument that: the mere fact that the accident occurred at the place and time of work, in the absence of a direct causal link between work and risk, effectively breaks the causal link between the work and the accident. The possibility for the INAIL to compensate for the accident suffered by a worker, who is exposed to a risk not linked to the work activity, the connection between the accident and the accident is interrupted.
