Résumé

The court held that the medical reports could not be relied upon because the insured had failed to disclose relevant prior medical conditions. As CNA was therefore unable to decide the accident insurance claim on a complete factual basis, the matter was sent back to CNA for renewed examination and decision.

Regest

LAA art. 18; probative value of medical assessments in accident insurance proceedings; if relevant prior medical history is not disclosed by the insured and the insurer cannot assess the claim on a complete factual basis, the medical evidence lacks probative force. In such a situation, the decision must be annulled and the matter remitted to the insurer for further clarification and a new decision (consid. unspecified).
