The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a sole shareholder against a social security office decision. The court found that the appellant, who held 124 out of 125 shares, was effectively a sole shareholder despite the formal existence of a minor shareholder spouse. Consequently, the court ruled that the appellant did not qualify as an employee under social security law because the separation of labor and capital was absent.
