The Supreme Court refused to accept the cassation appeal filed by Andrzej S. against a Social Insurance Institution decision denying work accident disability benefits. The applicant argued that a final rent-granting decision should be revisable without his request, but the court found no legal issue requiring interpretation. The court ruled that social security decisions lack the force of res judicata, meaning they can be changed if new evidence or previously unknown facts emerge, thus negating the need for a cassation review.
