The Supreme Court overturned the regional court's dismissal of a trade union's claim to order the creation of a social fund. The lower court rejected the suit, arguing that the statutory obligation to create the fund is distinct from the obligation to transfer contributions, and that no judicial remedy exists for the creation itself. The Supreme Court clarified that the legal right to demand the transfer of contributions inherently encompasses the demand to create the fund, as the transfer is the technical act of its establishment.
