The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the widow's appeal for a family pension, overturning the lower court's decision. The deceased husband worked in agriculture and served in the Polish army but had no formal employment contract. The court ruled that military service counts as equivalent work but does not substitute for the mandatory period of actual employment required by law. Consequently, the statutory conditions for the pension were not met.
