The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's decision to invalidate a high salary increase. The court found that the employee and her husband, as shareholders, artificially inflated their wages to secure higher sickness benefits without actual work performance. The court ruled that the Social Insurance Institution had the authority to identify such arrangements as attempts to circumvent the law and invalidate them.
