Supreme Court quashes disability pension decision due to lower court's failure to obtain medical records proving injury date.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's decision denying a disability pension because the court failed to obtain specific medical documentation required to prove the injury occurred within the statutory timeframe. The applicant argued that the medical commission's procedural errors and the lower court's refusal to seek backdated records violated the principle of comprehensive fact-finding. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new trial where the court must actively procure the necessary medical evidence to determine the validity of the pension claim.
