The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying a farmer's disability pension. The applicant argued that the lower courts violated procedural rights by not inquiring about potential rehabilitation benefits he did not request. The court ruled that the duty to inform under Article 5 of the Civil Procedure Code does not extend to verifying eligibility for unrequested social insurance benefits. Consequently, the courts were correct to limit their review to the specific pension claim without investigating other possible entitlements.
