The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Kazimierz K. against the Social Insurance Office's refusal to extend his sick pay. The applicant argued that the lower courts incorrectly interpreted the law regarding extended benefits, but the court found the medical experts' opinion that recovery was not forecasted to be decisive. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory conditions for extending sick pay were not met because there were no medical prospects of regaining work capacity.
