Supreme Court rules that a silent partner in a limited partnership is subject to mandatory social insurance.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's decision which had exempted a silent partner from mandatory social insurance. The court found that the appellant, as a silent partner in a limited partnership, was legally considered to be conducting non-agricultural business activity. Consequently, the court held that the statutory obligation to insure applies automatically upon partnership status, regardless of the partner's lack of active participation or the internal agreement to avoid insurance.
