Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Minister of Justice against a lower court's refusal to grant a disability pension. The applicant, who became disabled in 1976, argued that the medical experts' assessment of his disability group was sufficient to override the lack of a five-year insurance period. The court ruled that both the specific disability group classification and the mandatory five-year insurance history within ten years prior to disability are strict statutory prerequisites for the pension.
