Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Social Insurance Institution against a lower court's decision granting disability pension to a student. The applicant argued the accident occurred before formal school enrollment, while the court held that student status is acquired immediately upon registration. Consequently, the court ruled that the accident during summer vacation still occurred while the applicant was a student, validating the pension award.
