When workers encounter third-party torts, they can claim compensation either for industrial injury insurance or for third-party tort. The relationship between the two poses an open question to the judiciary for a long period of time, which was the subject of the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Administrative Cases of Industrial Injury Insurance issued in 2014. According to our analysis of 954 judicial documents, it can be verified that the provision aforementioned is far from achieving the once-for-all effect in practice as expected. Cognitive divergence is still significant among judicial authorities in regard to the compensation for industrial injuries or tort damages. This problem derives from the ambiguous contents of the provision, its lack of legislative support, as well as the inadequate connection between legal provisions and administrative rules. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between industrial injury insurance and tort liability from the theoretical perspective by employing multiple interpretation methods on the meaning of the provision, so that a reasonable choice can be made among judgement models. |
