Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Stanisław Ł.'s appeal seeking free acquisition of compensatory certificates for lost disability pension increases. The applicant argued his long-term work as an industrial kiln mason in special conditions entitled him to a pension increase that was never granted, yet he sought compensation for this loss under the 1997 Act. The court ruled that since the applicant never legally acquired the right to the increase due to conflicting statutory provisions, he could not claim compensation for its non-existence.
