L’article L.471-1 du Code de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 Sociale pr\u00e9voit que la CPAM peut recouvrir aupr\u00e8s des employeurs n’ayant pas proc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 une d\u00e9claration d’accident du travail ou de maladie professionnelle les d\u00e9penses expos\u00e9es \u00e0 l’occasion de cet accident ou de cette maladie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dans un arr\u00eat du 24 septembre 2020 (n\u00b019-17073), la 2\u00e8me chambre civile de la Cour de cassation s’est prononc\u00e9e sur la question de savoir si un employeur qui a proc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 une d\u00e9claration tardive pouvait n\u00e9anmoins \u00eatre condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 rembourser les prestations en vertu de cet article.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
En l’esp\u00e8ce, une salari\u00e9e a fait part \u00e0 l’employeur le 18 mars 2013 d’un accident du travail dont elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 victime et survenu le 28 f\u00e9vrier 2013. L’employeur proc\u00e8de d\u00e8s le lendemain \u00e0 la d\u00e9claration d’accident. L’accident est pris en charge au titre de la l\u00e9gislation professionnelle, et la CPAM sollicite la condamnation de l’employeur sur la base de l’article L.471-1 du Code de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 Sociale en raison d’une d\u00e9claration au-del\u00e0 de 48 heures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La Cour de cassation, approuvant la d\u00e9cision des juges du fond, d\u00e9boute la CPAM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Elle rappelle que la sanction pr\u00e9vue \u00e0 l’article L.471-1 rev\u00eat un caract\u00e8re de punition<\/strong>, et qu’il appartient aux juridictions d’appr\u00e9cier l’ad\u00e9quation de cette sanction \u00e0 la gravit\u00e9 de l’infraction commise<\/strong>. La Cour rel\u00e8ve que le non-respect du d\u00e9lai de d\u00e9claration r\u00e9sultait uniquement d’un d\u00e9faut de communication interne entre des entit\u00e9s diff\u00e9rentes de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, ce qui permettait d\u00e8s lors d’\u00e9tablir la bonne foi de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9<\/strong> et, partant, que la d\u00e9claration tardive ne devait pas exposer la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 la sanction pr\u00e9vue par l’article L.471-1 du Code de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 Sociale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.legifrance.gouv.fr\/juri\/id\/JURITEXT000042397826?tab_selection=juri&searchField=ALL&query=19-17073&searchType=ALL&typePagination=DEFAULT&sortValue=DATE_DESC&pageSize=10&page=1&tab_selection=juri#juri<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Un employeur de bonne foi peut-il \u00eatre condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 rembourser les prestations relatives \u00e0 une d\u00e9claration tardive d’AT\/MP ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites-en-droit-social"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voltaire-avocats.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
