The Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court's dismissal of a delayed pension claim, ordering a retrial. The applicant argued that the postal service did not accept his late application, while the social insurance office rejected it due to the statutory cutoff date. The court ruled that the principle of trust in public relations prevents the law from acting as a trap for citizens and affirmed that lower courts retain the authority to interpret laws.
