Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling municipal liability for social insurance debts of its non-legal-person unit must be found in the municipal self-government act.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court decision transferring liability for social insurance debts incurred by a dissolved municipal school. The municipality argued it should not be liable because the school lacked legal personality, while the Social Insurance Fund relied on public finance laws. The Court held that since the school was a budget unit without legal personality, its debts are inherently the municipality's debts under the Municipal Self-Government Act, rendering the lower court's application of the Public Finance Act incorrect.
