Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying his disability pension. The applicant argued that over 22 years of continuous disability should guarantee permanent status under a specific regulation. The court held that this regulation lacks the necessary statutory rank and its application would violate constitutional principles of equality and the rule of law. Consequently, the court overturned the lower ruling and remanded the case for reconsideration based on current laws.
