Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of early retirement benefits. The applicant argued that his agency work at a fuel station should be counted as special conditions employment, but the appellate court ruled that agency contracts do not constitute an employment relationship under labor law. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, establishing that terms like 'employee' and 'employment' in social security regulations must be interpreted strictly according to the Labor Code, excluding civil agency relationships.
