The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two company executives against a social security contribution order. The court found that the CEO remained liable for debts incurred while he held the position, as the company's financial management was outsourced and he did not know the company's financial state. The court ruled that the CEO's subjective belief about his resignation or the new CEO's assumption of debt did not legally exempt him from responsibility.
