Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a pension claim, remanding the case for a new decision on costs. The applicant, Irena P., had worked in her parents' farm while attending agricultural vocational school, but the Social Insurance Institution denied her pension due to insufficient insurance years and lack of proof regarding her parents' farm status. The Court ruled that the school's curriculum required farm work, making the applicant's labor during those years a qualifying insurance period under the relevant social security laws.
