Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a football coach against a social insurance office's denial of early teacher's pension. The lower courts correctly determined that the coach did not qualify as a teacher under the Teacher's Card Act because no regulation extended its provisions to coaches. The court ruled that without such a specific regulation, the coach's work with children and youth could not be counted towards the required twenty years of teaching service.
