Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Danuta M.-C. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of her early retirement pension. The court found that while she had 15 years of artistic activity, she did not meet the specific requirement of working as a solo singer for that entire period, as her time as a choir member does not count. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision that she did not satisfy the conditions for a reduced retirement age under the relevant regulation.
