The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a blind cooperative member seeking reinstatement after his exclusion. The plaintiff, a trade union leader, had displayed insulting texts criticizing the cooperative's management on the notice board. The court held that while members have a right to criticize, the plaintiff's actions constituted a severe breach of duties and violated social norms due to their offensive nature and lack of appropriate form.
