Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former police officer seeking a disability pension. The applicant argued that his disability had persisted despite a 1988 medical finding of remission, but the court held that the right to the pension had legally expired. The court ruled that since the disability ceased in 1988, any claim for reinstatement must strictly adhere to the time limits specified in Article 19 of the relevant pension law, which the applicant failed to meet.
