- Quebec's Court of Appeal ruled that the family of Ottoniel Lares Batzibal is entitled to compensation after his work-related death in 2021.
- The majority decision was 2-1, asserting that Batzibal's death was an occupational injury and should be compensated.
- Justice Julie Dutil stated that the definition of workplace accident by the administrative tribunal was too narrow and required a broader interpretation.
- The case has been sent back to Quebec's workers health and safety board, the CNESST, to determine compensation, potentially up to $100,000.
