Supreme Court allows claim by ruling social insurance benefits do not expire under new constitutional interpretation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside the lower court's dismissal of a widow's claim for a one-time work-related injury benefit, ruling it was time-barred. The widow argued the claim expired, but the court noted the Constitutional Court had declared the relevant statute unconstitutional, reclassifying the benefit as social insurance. Consequently, the court held that social insurance benefits do not expire, allowing the claim to proceed.
