Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Fund's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling granting a pension to the insured. The court found that the pension authority's duty to assess disability lies with its own medical experts, not judicial experts, as social security proceedings are purely supervisory. Consequently, the lower court's reliance on a single expert opinion was deemed procedurally correct and factually sound.
