Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Bolesław H. against a decision denying him a rural pension. The applicant had previously elected to count his service years toward an employee pension, which the court ruled legally precluded counting the same period for a rural pension. The court held that the statutory choice of one pension system excludes the possibility of later claiming rights in another system for the identical period.
