The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to have university lecture duties recognized as employment for pension eligibility. The applicant worked as a private consultant while receiving lecture fees from the university, with no formal employment contract. The court ruled that the lack of a contractual relationship and the applicant's independent status as a consultant meant the duties did not constitute employment under the relevant laws.

A oli pitänyt Helsingin kauppakorkeakoulussa ajalla 27.10.-12.12.1986 luentoja. Työnantaja oli suorittanut A:lle tuntiopettajan sivutyöstä luentopalkkiota yhteensä 1.433 markkaa. Työnantaja oli ilmoittanut tiedot VEL:n palvelussuhderekisteriin. A:lle oli annettu kyseiselle ajalle tuntiopetusja laitostehtävämääräys. Työsopimusta ei oltu tehty. A oli toiminut kyseisenä aikana yksityisyrittäjänä YEL-vakuutuksin toimialanaan liikkeenjohdon konsultointi. Asiassa ei ilmennyt, että mainittu yritys olisi mitenkään ollut osallisena kyseiseen tuntiopetustoimintaan. A:n työskentely tuntiopettajana katsottiinkin VEL:n alaiseksi palvelukseksi ja työttömyyseläkkeeseen oikeuttavaksi ajaksi. Valtion eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu.
