The court overturned the High Court's decision that set the effective date of applicability to 06.09.2007, asserting that the correct date should be 22.11.2002 as determined by the Employees' Insurance Court. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions regarding the coverage of establishments under the Act.
