Supreme Court dismissed appeal, ruling voluntary social insurance requires a formal application and timely premium payment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying sick leave benefits. The appellant argued that paying premiums established a voluntary insurance title, but the court found that a formal application and timely payment were mandatory conditions. Consequently, the court ruled that late payment caused the insurance title to expire by operation of law, preventing any further coverage.
