Supreme Court quashes pension award due to birth date error and procedural defects in calculating contribution periods.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's decision denying a family pension to the deceased mother's children due to a fatal error in determining her birth date. The court found that the lower court incorrectly calculated the mother's age at death and failed to properly account for non-contributory periods when assessing eligibility for disability pension. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new trial where the correct birth date must be established and contribution periods recalculated according to the law.
