Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding her claim for an early teacher's pension. Although the court acknowledged her teaching period in Ukraine was contributory, it ruled that Article 88 of the Teachers' Card Act applies only to teachers working within the territory of the Republic of Poland. The court distinguished between contributory periods established by social security fiction and the specific requirement of working within national borders for special employment status.
