Supreme Court allows pension claim review when new medical evidence changes factual basis despite prior final judgment.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of a pension claim based on the principle of res judicata. The lower court incorrectly applied this principle to a new application filed years later with fresh medical evidence proving a link between the applicant's disability and military service. The court ruled that since the right to a pension is not time-limited, the factual basis changed, allowing the case to be re-examined on its merits.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 366 k.p.c.; Art. 199 § 1 pkt 2 k.p.c.: The principle of res judicata applies only when the factual basis of a social insurance court's decision cannot be changed; if new facts or evidence alter the factual basis, the case may be re-examined.
