Partnership partner's non-service contribution does not constitute gainful employment during sick leave.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's decision to recover rehabilitation benefits. The insured, a partner in a civil company where his contribution was not based on services, had been registered for social insurance during his sick leave period. The court ruled that such a partnership role does not equate to gainful employment or mandatory social insurance coverage under the relevant statutes. Consequently, the insured retained the right to rehabilitation benefits, and the lower court's finding was upheld.
