The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision to apply an outdated pension regulation to a 1999 income calculation. The applicant argued that the lower courts failed to account for a Constitutional Court ruling declaring the specific pension provision unconstitutional. The court held that once a law is declared unconstitutional, it loses immediate effect and cannot be applied to administrative decisions made after the ruling, even if the underlying facts occurred earlier.
