Supreme Court allows pension award when insurance period requirement is met after decision date under civil procedure law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's pension decision. The appellant argued that the court should only assess the decision based on facts existing at the time of its issuance, as the required insurance period was not met then. However, the court ruled that under Article 316 § 1 of the Civil Procedure Code, a court may grant a benefit if the necessary conditions are met with certainty after the decision is made. Consequently, the court awarded the pension retroactively from the date the insurance period requirement was fulfilled.
