Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against the Second Instance Court's decision denying disability pension. The applicant argued that the expert opinion was superficial and presented new medical evidence, but the court held that the Supreme Court lacks authority to re-examine factual findings or conduct new evidence gathering. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's determination that the applicant's disability had ceased, thereby terminating the pension entitlement.
