Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside the lower court's dismissal of the pension claim and remanded the case for re-examination. The applicant argued that a final judgment denying his disability pension did not preclude a new claim based on Article 114 of the Social Insurance Act. The court held that administrative decisions on pensions do not benefit from the principle of res judicata, unlike court judgments, allowing for repeated re-evaluation if new evidence or circumstances arise.
