Polish court allows foreign worker to claim civil compensation rent increase despite receiving foreign accident pension.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a Polish national receiving a German accident pension can claim an increase in Polish civil compensation rent. The plaintiff argued that the German pension replaced the Polish accident pension, entitling him to a civil rent increase, while the defendant claimed the Social Insurance Fund must first update the German pension before calculating the Polish rent. The court ruled that the civil rent increase is permissible but refused to answer the secondary questions about updating the foreign pension or handling multiple workplace accidents separately.
