Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a social security court decision regarding pension amounts. The appellant argued that the appellate court improperly conducted a substantive review by calculating the value of the dispute, which was below the required 5,000 zł threshold for cassation under Article 393(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The court held that while the lower court had the duty to verify the value of the subject matter ex officio, the appellant failed to provide a valid calculation method, and the court's arithmetic comparison confirmed the value did not meet the statutory minimum.
