Polish Supreme Court allows Czech farmer's wife to continue social insurance despite non-Polish citizenship.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision allowing a Czech national to continue agricultural social insurance coverage. The lower court ruled that the applicant, a farm worker, voluntarily continued paying premiums after the new law came into effect, despite the statute initially limiting coverage to Polish citizens. The court held that the voluntary continuation and long-standing payment history created a legal solution under domestic law, rendering the citizenship exclusion inapplicable.
