Social security court ruled that business activity includes preparatory acts and subjective intent, not just actual work.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision which had dismissed the insured's appeal regarding his social security coverage. The insured argued that his intention to resume business and lack of formal cancellation meant he remained covered, despite a gap in actual work due to illness. The court held that determining business activity requires considering all circumstances, including the subjective intent of the entrepreneur and preparatory actions, not merely the objective cessation of work.
