Supreme Court dismissed cassation on pension amount dispute, ruling it is a property right case subject to the 10,000 PLN threshold.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a pensioner against a lower court's decision regarding the calculation of her pension. The pensioner argued that the appellate court incorrectly omitted the second sentence of Article 3982 § 1 of the Civil Procedure Code, which grants unconditional cassation rights for pension cases. The court held that since the dispute concerned only the amount of the pension rather than the right to receive it, the 10,000 PLN monetary threshold applies. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the calculated value of the dispute fell below this limit.
