Social security benefits denied to self-employed individual as bilateral treaty applies only to employees.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a self-employed individual seeking pension benefits based on a Polish-German social security treaty. The applicant argued that the treaty's provisions should apply to his case, but the appellate court ruled that the treaty covers only employees, excluding self-employed persons. The Supreme Court upheld this interpretation, stating that constitutional principles do not permit expanding the treaty's scope beyond its explicit subject matter.
