Supreme Court holds that a ruling rejecting an appeal against a social security decision counts as dismissing a lawsuit for cassation purposes.

The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the cassation appeal against a second-instance ruling that had rejected an appeal against a social security authority's decision. The dispute concerned the suspension and valuation of an employee's pension during a period of residence abroad. The court determined that the second-instance ruling, which rejected the appeal, functioned as a decision dismissing the lawsuit under the Civil Procedure Code. Consequently, the cassation was deemed admissible despite the low nominal value of the pension in question.
