Social security agency's illegal decision causing delay obligates agency to pay interest despite constitutional law issues.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the pensioner's claim, ordering the agency to pay interest from December 1999. The agency had refused benefits despite the applicant meeting all statutory requirements, meaning the delay was their fault. Consequently, the court held the agency liable for interest even though the underlying pension law was later declared unconstitutional.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 85 ust. 1 zd. 2 ustawy o systemie ubezpieczeń społecznych; Art. 393 § 15 k.p.c.: When a social security agency issues an illegal decision denying benefits while the applicant has fulfilled all conditions, the resulting delay is attributable to the agency, mandating interest payment regardless of the agency's lack of negligence.
