Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a pension claim for disability resulting from forced military labor. The applicant argued that the three-year disability grouping rule from the Veterans' Pensions Act should apply, but the Court held that this provision is inapplicable to forced labor cases. Consequently, the Court found the lower court's decision correct because the applicant's current disability was unrelated to the 1954 accident, failing the statutory causation requirement.
