Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Antoniego S.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Office's refusal of a miner's pension. The applicant argued that his surface work qualified as equal mining work, but the court found he lacked the mandatory five years of underground supervision or underground labor required by the Mining Pension Act. Consequently, the court upheld the lower courts' decision that the applicant did not meet the statutory conditions for the pension.
