Supreme Court allows pension backpay claim by rejecting civil procedure value limitation for arrears.

The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the pensioner's cassation appeal against the appellate court's dismissal of his claim. The appellant sought backpay for undervalued pension increases from 1999 to 2009, arguing the appellate court incorrectly limited the case value calculation to annual differences under Article 22 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court ruled that this provision applies only to future periodic payments, not to past arrears, meaning the total claim value must include both the backpay and future entitlements.
