Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Halina K. regarding her right to early retirement. The court held that maternity leave periods prior to January 1, 1999, were not subject to social insurance coverage and thus could not count toward the required 30 years of service. Consequently, the applicant failed to meet the statutory conditions for early retirement under the relevant social security law.
