Supreme Court allows family pension extension to end of repeated final academic year regardless of fault.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a family pension claim, ruling that the right extends to the end of the final academic year even if it is repeated. The applicant argued that repeating a year due to poor grades should not bar pension continuation, while the social insurance agency contended that repeating the year excluded the statutory extension. The court decided that distinguishing between repeated and non-repeated years would create unfair inequality among beneficiaries and that the law's text permits extension until the completion of that specific year regardless of the cause.
