Social security court allows pension claim despite capped contribution base, ruling legal interest exists for recalculation.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's decision and remanded the case for retrial regarding the applicant's pension calculation. The applicant, a former ambassador, argued that his pension should be based on actual earnings rather than a capped 250% of the average wage, which the lower courts had accepted. The court held that even if the capped base does not currently affect the pension amount, the applicant retains a legal interest in having the actual contribution base determined correctly for future eligibility.
