Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court's refusal to grant a disability pension. The applicant argued that his disability arose during employment or within 18 months of cessation, but the lower court failed to verify his receipt of unemployment benefits between 1992 and 1995. The court ruled that this omission violated the principle of objective truth and the duty to examine all relevant circumstances, necessitating a remand for a complete factual review.
