Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling business activity starts with intent and readiness, not actual sales or profit.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision denying social insurance coverage to a businessman. The appellant argued that the lower court incorrectly required actual income to establish business activity, whereas the Supreme Court clarified that the legal definition relies on the intent to earn and the readiness to conclude sales contracts. Consequently, the court held that mere market research without a functioning sales point or funds did not constitute the commencement of business activity under the relevant social insurance statute.
