Supreme Court dismissed pension claim as part-time vocational instructor work did not meet 22-hour weekly teaching requirement.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal regarding his entitlement to a teachers' pension. The Social Insurance Institution denied the benefit because the applicant worked as a vocational instructor for only 15 hours weekly, failing the statutory minimum of 22 hours required for the period in question. The Court ruled that the specific provision allowing early retirement for part-time teachers had not yet taken effect when the applicant submitted his pension request, leaving the 22-hour threshold as the sole criterion for qualifying work.
