Supreme Court dismissed pension claim; failure to appoint agent abroad justified withholding payment under Social Security Act.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the pensioner's cassation appeal against a decision to withhold her pension due to her failure to appoint a representative abroad. The lower courts found that the pensioner moved to Germany without securing a residence permit, preventing the transfer of funds, and she later failed to designate an authorized recipient for payment. The court ruled that the withholding was legally justified under the Social Security Act and that procedural defects regarding the right to appeal did not affect the substantive outcome.
