Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying the applicant's pension based on insufficient contribution periods. The applicant argued that periods of farming and unpaid leave should count as contribution periods under specific agricultural and social security laws. The court ruled that only periods where contributions were actually paid or explicitly defined as contribution periods by law could be considered, rejecting the applicant's interpretation of unpaid farming time and leave.
