Social Security Fund denied late fees on PKP pension contributions due to statutory installment restructuring plan.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Social Security Fund's request for late fees on Polish Railways' pension contributions. The Fund argued that statutory deadlines for payment triggered automatic late fees, while the Railways contended that the legal restructuring plan into installments excluded any delay. The court ruled that the statutory restructuring effectively transferred the payment deadline to the final installment date, thereby preventing the accrual of late fees during the installment period.
