Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that exempted a self-employed individual from social security contributions during their sick leave period. The appellant argued for mandatory insurance coverage, but the court found that the obligation to insure arises only from the actual conduct of business, which was impossible due to the disability preventing work. Consequently, the court held that requiring insurance during this period would be legally inconsistent and functionally pointless.
