Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment granting a work-related disability pension from December 1993, ordering a retrial. The lower court failed to determine the exact date the applicant filed for the pension, a critical fact required by the Social Security Act to calculate the entitlement period. The court found the lower court's attempt to correct the start date via a clerical error provision was improper because it altered the substantive merits of the case without addressing the missing factual record.
