Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a miner seeking a permanent disability pension. The applicant argued that the lower court failed to consider personal factors like age and education when determining the intent to reclassify his work. The court held that the statutory definition of reclassification intent is met whenever an individual loses the ability to perform their specific, health-dependent job while retaining capacity for any other work. Consequently, the court found the lower court's application of the law correct and the cassation groundless.
