Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision, ruling that a farmer's wife on parental leave after her employment ended was not subject to farmers' social insurance. The applicant argued she should be covered under the law since she received parental benefits and no other insurance, while the insurance fund claimed coverage began upon the end of her job. The court decided that because she continued receiving specific social benefits and the employment relationship had terminated, the statutory conditions for mandatory farmers' insurance were not met during that period.
