Supreme Court dismisses pension claim when parents retain legal obligation to pay alimony despite non-payment.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal to grant a family pension. The court found that although the parents failed to pay alimony, they remained legally obligated to support the child, and the applicant's refusal to enforce those payments did not create a new right to a pension from the grandfather. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory condition of parents' inability to provide support was not met because the obligation persisted regardless of the applicant's actions.
