Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision holding a company director liable for unpaid social insurance contributions. The court found that mere existence of receivables against third parties was insufficient to exempt the director, as these claims were already seized by the tax office. The court ruled that liability requires proof of enforceable and payable assets, which the appellant failed to demonstrate.
