Cassation court dismissed claim for mining pension due to lack of high probability of meeting work conditions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a claim for a mining pension denied by the lower courts. The plaintiff argued that he would have qualified for early retirement had he continued working underground, but the court found insufficient evidence. The court ruled that merely showing a possibility of employment is inadequate; there must be a high probability that the plaintiff would have met all statutory requirements, including health and job continuity, which could not be established given his medical history and the nature of underground work.
