Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, upholding the final judgment that barred a new claim for disability benefits. The applicant sought to reopen proceedings after a medical commission reassessed her disability status, arguing the lower court failed to address her current health condition. The court ruled that the principle of res judicata precluded re-litigation without new evidence or circumstances, and the appeal lacked sufficient legal grounds to challenge the administrative decision.
