Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an insured individual against a pension denial decision. The lower courts had admitted a medical expert's opinion ex officio to determine work incapacity, despite the insured's objection, which ultimately supported the denial of benefits. The court held that the judge's discretionary power under the Civil Procedure Code cannot be reduced by interpretation and that admitting such evidence is not an abuse of power.
