Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an insured individual against a social security fund decision regarding the calculation of initial capital. The insured argued for a 20-year selection period, but the court found this inapplicable because the applicant had less than 20 years of total insurance coverage. Consequently, the court ruled that only the consecutive 10-year period specified in the relevant statute could be used for the calculation.
