Social Security contributions dismissal denied; debtor's ability to earn income precludes debt forgiveness under Art. 28 ust. 1. Interest calculation upheld.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Paweł K. against the Social Insurance Fund's refusal to forgive his outstanding contributions. The court found that K., a plumber with no current employment but valid qualifications, possessed real income-generating capabilities, making debt forgiveness inapplicable under Article 28 of the Social Insurance Act. Additionally, the court rejected arguments regarding the calculation of late payment interest, ruling that the statutory rates were justified and did not violate constitutional principles of equality or fairness.
