The Supreme Court dismissed the pensioner's cassation appeal regarding the payment of mining pension for a period exceeding three months after returning from abroad. The applicant argued that the suspension of benefits during foreign residence should be reversed retroactively upon return, but the court found the relevant statute had lost its legal force in 1994. Consequently, the court ruled that the suspension applied continuously until the applicant formally requested reinstatement, which was only permitted from the month following the request.
