Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an insured worker against a social insurance office decision. The court found that the worker's dismissal was merely a sham to bypass early retirement rules, as the employer maintained full employment levels after privatization. Consequently, the statutory conditions for employer-caused dismissal were not met, and the social insurance office correctly withheld the pension benefit.
