Supreme Court dismissed cassation against denial of combined farmers' pension due to failure to transfer farm.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Brygidy and Edward L. against the Social Security Fund's refusal to grant them combined farmers' pension benefits. The applicants had leased their farm in 1988 but failed to transfer ownership to the state or a successor as required by the specific 1990 regulations. The court ruled that because they ceased to be insured farmers after the lease, they could not rely on legislative changes allowing pension rights based on farm transfer, which only applied to those maintaining their farmer status.
