Supreme Court allows pension claim by overturning lower court's dismissal of income evidence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of the pensioner's appeal regarding her pension calculation. The pensioner argued that the lower court incorrectly rejected her evidence of earnings from 1965-1984, which should have been considered instead of the later period used by the Social Insurance Fund. The court held that the lower court erred by assuming such evidence was inadmissible without attempting to verify if it could establish the actual wage level, particularly using hourly rates from employment records.
