Insurance court allows deviation from equal treatment rules when tax-adjusted income requires it for fairness.

The Insurance Court allowed a deviation from the standard guidelines for calculating past earnings for a self-employed individual. The applicant argued that strict adherence to the Equal Treatment Centre's rules would result in unequal treatment compared to other self-employed persons when considering taxable income. The court ruled that such a deviation is permissible if equality with other self-employed individuals necessitates it upon accounting for tax liabilities, thereby upholding the original decision.
