Supreme Court dismissed teacher pension claim, ruling that 1997 regulations apply to qualification requirements at filing time.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jarosław P. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a teacher pension. The applicant argued that work in voluntary labor centers should count as teaching work, but the court held that pension rights depend on qualifications required at the time of the pension application. Consequently, the court ruled that the 1997 regulations, which were not in force when the applicant filed his claim, correctly established that he did not meet the necessary pedagogical qualifications.
