AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Józef K. against a social insurance office's decision to withhold disability benefits. The appellant argued that the appellate court violated procedural rules by failing to admit evidence of his disability and ignoring inconsistencies in expert opinions. The court ruled that the appellate court's decision to admit a supplementary expert opinion was lawful and that the new findings confirmed the absence of work-related disability, rendering the procedural complaints without merit.
