The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim against the company regarding alleged labor law violations. The court found that the applicant, who sold machine drawings and supervised prototype production, was not subordinate to the company's management and thus lacked an employment relationship. Consequently, the pension board's decision was upheld because the dispute concerned a civil contract rather than labor law.
