Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed Stefan L.'s appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a disability pension. The applicant argued for a five-year employment period within the last ten years, but the court found the disability arose on June 26, 1992, rendering the required employment window invalid. Consequently, the court set aside the lower court's ruling and rejected the pension claim as it failed to meet statutory prerequisites.
