Social security pension review requires special statute over civil code; error in insurance period does not bar retrial.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ordered the retrial of a social security pension case after lower courts incorrectly applied civil procedure rules. The pension agency argued that a clerical error in calculating the insurance period prevented the applicant from using new evidence in the original trial. The court ruled that the specific social security law provides a more liberal retrial mechanism that does not require proof of missed opportunities in prior proceedings.
