Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for a new ruling on costs. The applicant, a 55-year-old worker, sought early retirement based on a specific statutory provision, arguing she had been employed immediately prior to filing her claim. The court rejected the opposing view that the applicant must have been an employee on the exact day she turned 55, holding instead that the law only requires employment to be established directly before the claim is submitted.
