Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary revision against a lower court's denial of an invalidity pension to Czesława S. The applicant argued she met the five-year contribution requirement by including non-contributory periods, while the Ministry of Justice contended the lower court erred in law regarding Article 32 and 33 of the Pension Law. The court held that non-contributory periods can only offset contributory periods up to one-third of the total, meaning the applicant's total qualifying time fell short of the statutory five-year threshold.
