The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Social Insurance Office's refusal to pay a coal subsidy to a former miner. The court found the lower court's interpretation of the subsidy law too broad, failing to recognize that the right stems from a collective labor agreement rather than statutory pension acquisition. Consequently, the court ruled that the strict interpretation required by the law was violated, necessitating a reversal of the lower court's decision.
