Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the extraordinary review regarding a claim for an early railway pension. The applicant argued that converting work years to months under a specific statute would grant him the required 40 years of service. However, the court found that the lower courts overlooked a mandatory condition: the employment contract must be terminated due to organizational changes or workforce reduction. Since the applicant's dismissal resulted from long-term illness, the prerequisite for the early pension was not met, rendering the calculation of service duration irrelevant.
