The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance court decision denying early retirement rights. The lower court found the insured's employment as a fitter-conservator in a small shop run by his sister-in-law fictitious because the duties required no professional qualifications. The court ruled that such formalistic hiring to access social benefits violates legal logic and rationality, thus upholding the denial of the pension claim.

Art. 228 KPC; Art. 233 § 1 KPC: The court may determine the absence of an employment relationship when formal hiring serves solely to obtain social benefits without a genuine professional basis, applying logical legal reasoning rather than strict procedural rules.
