Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially quashed the appellate court's decision regarding a disability pension claim by Józef O. The court found the lower court incorrectly ignored evidence of employment in France, which could extend the required five-year insurance period. The ruling mandates that foreign employment periods be considered if Polish social security contributions were paid, subject to specific treaty exceptions, and orders a retrial to verify these periods against international agreements.
