The sentence issued by the Supreme Court is examined, which unified jurisprudence on Article 69 letter b) of Law 16,744, on Obligatory Insurance for Work-related Accidents and Occupational Diseases. The judicial resolution determined that the rules that should govern there adjustments and interests that increase compensation for work accidents are those of the «common law» and not those contained in the Labor Code (Articles 63 and 173). Special attention is paid to the supplementary application of Civil Law to a subject that is part of the Labor Law.
