Text
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
In order for a worker to be recognized as an occupational accident, the worker's commuting process, such as using the means of transportation provided by the business owner, etc., should be deemed to be under the control and management of the business owner (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 92Nu13073, Jan. 19, 1993; 92Nu16805, May 11, 1993; 93Nu24186, Apr. 12, 1994). In the same purport, the court below concluded that the accident in this case was just because the non-party, who is the husband of the plaintiff, was a traffic accident, and the traffic accident occurred from the above six-lane road to the above six-lane road, and it did not constitute an occupational violation of the law, such as the disaster management of the deceased, on the ground that it did not constitute an occupational violation of the law by the above business owner.
There is no reason to discuss this issue.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
