Abstract

Since 2013, with the introduction of Active Retirement in the Spanish legal system, it is possible to combine the receipt of a retirement pension with self-employment or paid employ-ment. The main question in the Judgment under review is whether a self-employed person in Ac-tive Retirement meets the requirements for receiving 100 % of the retirement pension, as set out in article 214.2 of the consolidated General Social Security Act. In particular, that article requires at least one employee to be employed. In the case that gave rise to the judgment analysed, the pensioner’s occupation was repair and maintenance of motor vehicles, and he had hired a person as a domestic worker. Thus, the question arising from this case is the following: does the hiring of a worker for a job unrelated to the pensioner’s activity allow the pensioner to claim 100 % of the retirement pension? The Supreme Court’s answer was in the negative, relying primarily on a purposive interpretation of article 214.2 of the consolidated General Social Security Act.
