Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed an extraordinary review filed by the widow of a miner against the Social Insurance Institution regarding family pension amounts. Although the court acknowledged a significant legal error in the lower court's application of pension distribution rules between the widow and the divorced wife, it rejected the appeal because the review was filed six months after the judgment became final. The court ruled that while the lower decision violated specific pension statutes, this procedural delay meant the state's interest was not sufficiently harmed to warrant overturning the stable judgment.
