New EU sanctions and criminalization of sanctions breaches

Injuries while working from home were not considered occupational injuries SAC case No. 441-22 and 3375-22

Two workers sought medical treatment after suffering dental injuries while working from home. They then applied for compensation for their treatment costs under the occupational injury insurance scheme. Although the work from home had been done at the request of their respective employers, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (Sw. Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen) (the "SAC") held that the injuries could not be classified as occupational injuries, as they were related to private life. They were therefore not covered by the occupational injury insurance and the claims for compensation were rejected.
