The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal because the second-instance court accepted an expert opinion without verifying if the applicant had the required employment period at the time of disability onset. The applicant argued that the first-instance court failed to clarify whether he possessed the necessary employment duration on the disputed date, while the second-instance court relied on an expert report contradicting earlier administrative findings. The court ruled that failing to establish these critical facts regarding the disability date and employment history constituted a procedural violation under the Code of Civil Procedure that could significantly affect the outcome.
