ATA/536/1998Cour de justice / Chambre administrative1 sept. 1998
Extrait par Omnilex
In a social insurance dispute concerning accident coverage under the LAA, the court held that a popliteal cyst may be attributed to an accident only if it manifests shortly after the event, so that a natural causal link can be accepted. The abstract also notes that the question whether a foreign health insurer should be joined as a party was left open. No dispositive result is available from the provided extract.
LAA art. 6; natural causation of a popliteal cyst after an accident: a post-traumatic cyst can be regarded as accident-related only if it appears rapidly after the accident, since temporal proximity is a decisive indicator of causation; absent such prompt manifestation, natural causation is not established. The question of joinder of a foreign health insurer may remain open where unnecessary for the outcome.
