The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social security decision denying a family pension. The applicant argued that the lower court erred in interpreting the law regarding marital community, citing a previous Supreme Court ruling. However, the Court held that its own later decision establishing a new legal principle binds the court reviewing the case, rendering the prior interpretation inapplicable. Consequently, the cassation was rejected because the lower court correctly applied the current binding legal standard based on the absence of factual marital community.

Art. 39820 k.p.c.; Art. 39814 k.p.c.; The Supreme Court is bound by its own subsequent legal principles which override earlier interpretations, and a cassation appeal based solely on the binding force of a prior interpretation is inadmissible when a newer, binding principle exists.
