Supreme Court dismisses pension claim for military music school attendance before age 17 as non-contributory service period.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Jarosław Z.'s appeal regarding his military pension calculation, ruling that his attendance at a military music school before age 17 does not constitute a contributory service period. The court found that while the lower courts correctly identified the lack of a specific legal provision for such periods, the appellant's argument failed because his status was that of a student in an administrative relationship rather than an employee. Consequently, the court held that without explicit statutory recognition, this time cannot be counted toward pension eligibility.
