Supreme Court allows early pension for business owner with prior employment pension rights and qualifying service.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court decision granting early retirement to a business owner. The applicant had previously received a disability pension and possessed the required employment service record and pension rights upon terminating her employment, though she later started a business. The court ruled that running a business does not strip the status of an insured employee for the purpose of Article 29 of the Social Insurance Act, allowing the pension claim based on the period of receiving the disability pension.
