The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted disability benefits for an accident occurring during business operations. The Social Insurance Office argued that unpaid contributions barred the claim, but the court held that coverage is automatic upon engaging in the protected activity. Consequently, the court ruled that benefits are payable independently of whether contributions were paid for the specific period of the accident.
