Legal Ruling

The National Labor Court ruled that a self-employed worker injured on the job is not covered by the National Insurance Institute if registration was completed after the accident. Despite the worker contacting an accountant, the court held that this did not constitute valid insurance coverage at the time of the injury.

The wife of a 78-year-old man suffering from Parkinson's and cognitive decline conditioned his meetings with their children on her presence. Consequently, two courts ruled that his affairs should be handled by an external body.
