Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the pension fund's appeal and remanded the case for retrial due to insufficient factual findings. The applicant argued that her work in Czechoslovakia should count toward her pension capital, while the fund contended it should be excluded under Article 8 of the Social Insurance Act. The court ruled that without evidence proving the employment was a contributory period under the relevant international treaty, the period cannot be considered for the capital calculation.
