Family allowance denied posthumously for judge who voluntarily resigned before January 1, 1998 cutoff date.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the widow's appeal for family allowance after her husband, a judge who voluntarily resigned before January 1, 1998, died. The lower court incorrectly granted the claim by assuming the husband would have qualified for the allowance if he had remained in office. The court ruled that the statutory provision explicitly excludes judges who resigned prior to the cutoff date, meaning no derivative right passes to the widow.
