Supreme Court dismisses appeal in social security overpayment case where disputed amount falls below statutory threshold.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Institution's cassation appeal regarding an overpaid disability pension. The institution argued that the lower court erred in not ordering the return of the excess amount, while the appellant contended that the right to the benefit, not the specific sum, was the legal issue. The court ruled that because the dispute concerned a strictly defined monetary sum rather than the existence of a future right, the appeal was inadmissible as its value was below the statutory limit.
