Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the lawyer's cassation appeal regarding the social security contribution rate for disabled lawyers. The lower courts had ruled that the contribution should be 100% because the lawyer operates an individual practice, not as an employee. The Court determined the dispute was merely about the specific payment amount rather than the abstract interpretation of the law. Consequently, the appeal was inadmissible because the value of the subject matter did not exceed the statutory threshold for cassation.
