ATA/353/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberJun 9, 1998Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The insured challenged CNA's refusal to revise an accident pension fixed at 25% under the LAA. The court held that the medical situation had remained stable, with no relevant worsening of symptoms and no deterioration in earning capacity. Since the factual basis for a revision was absent, CNA was entitled to maintain its earlier pension decision. The appeal was dismissed.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 22 LAA; revision of an accident pension requires a legally relevant change in the facts underlying the pension, in particular in the health state or earning capacity. Where the medical condition remains stable and no aggravation of the symptomatology or reduction of earning capacity is shown, revision is excluded and the prior pension assessment remains binding (consid. not stated).
