Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland revoked a lower court's decision denying early railway pension to a worker who had accumulated 40 years of service before his unit was separated from PKP. The court found that the statutory requirement for 15 years of continuous service prior to separation was met, as the worker's tenure began while the unit was still part of the main enterprise. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new determination of the pension entitlement date based on the corrected legal interpretation.
