Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a teacher's pension claim based on foreign service. The applicant argued that his time teaching at a school attached to a foreign employer should count as special character work under the Teacher's Card Act. The court ruled that since the specific legal provision recognizing such work as special character had not yet entered into force at the time his employment ended, the necessary conditions for the pension were not met.
