Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the calculation base for railway pensions, ruling that only earnings from railway employment and equivalent periods are admissible. The applicant argued for inclusion of earnings from a construction project, but the court found the specific statutory provisions for railway workers created a distinct legal regime. Consequently, the court held that the general revaluation rules do not override the specific limitation on income sources for this professional group.
