Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal regarding his early pension entitlement. The Social Insurance Institution denied credits for farm work performed between 1955 and 1957 because the applicant attended a technical school, arguing this prevented full-time employment. The court held that Article 5 of the Pension Revaluation Act requires farm work to be performed at least at half the statutory working time to qualify for credit, rejecting the applicant's claim that no such threshold existed.
