Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying a railway disability pension to the applicant. The applicant argued that her disability, which occurred during parental leave, should be considered equivalent to railway employment under the relevant pension law. The court ruled that while parental leave is treated as equivalent to railway work for general pension purposes, it does not satisfy the specific 18-month post-employment requirement for this particular pension benefit.
