Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Bogumiła G. against a lower court decision denying her a family pension under the new Police Pension Act. The court found that the applicant lost her previous pension rights when her daughter reached age 20 in 2003, meaning no acquired right existed to protect under the Constitution. Consequently, the court ruled that the new statutory conditions for acquiring a pension at age 50 applied correctly to events occurring after the new law's enactment.
