Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a prosecutor against a social insurance office's refusal to pay a work accident pension. The court found that while the prosecutor acquired the right to this pension before the new judicial retirement system was introduced, the simultaneous receipt of a judicial allowance for illness or loss of strength requires applying the rules for concurrent benefits. Consequently, the prosecutor cannot receive half of the work accident pension in addition to the full judicial allowance, as the latter replaces the former for the entire duration of its payment.
