Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court ruled that a retired judge performing contract work is subject to mandatory social insurance. The insured argued that judges and prosecutors were excluded from the system, claiming unfairness compared to other retirees. The court rejected this, citing Constitutional Court precedents that justify mandatory contributions even when the reciprocal benefit is not fully realized.

Art. 6 ust. 1 pkt 4 ustawy z dnia 13 października 1998 r. o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych; Art. 9 ust. 4, 4a, 4b ustawy z dnia 13 października 1998 r. o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych: Mandatory social insurance applies to retired judges performing contract work, as the Constitutional Court established that the lack of strict reciprocity between contributions and benefits does not exempt them from the obligation.
