In this note, adopting the pullback formalism of global Finsler geometry, we show by a counterexample that the kernel $\text{Ker}_R$ of the h-curvature $R$ of Cartan connection and the associated nullity distribution $\N_R$ do not coincide, contrary to Akbar-Zadeh's result \cite{akbar.nul3.}. We give sufficient conditions for $\text{Ker}_R$ and $\N_R$ to coincide.
