Supreme Court dismissed social security claim for lawyers practicing individually, ruling they lack worker status under work accident law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two women against the Social Insurance Institution regarding their husband's death. The lower courts had initially denied benefits because the husband, an individual lawyer, was not considered a worker under the Work Accident Law, a view the Supreme Court upheld. The court reasoned that the Constitution's equality principle does not mandate identical treatment for all professions, allowing for differentiated social security systems based on the distinct economic and social realities of individual practitioners versus employees.
