Social security court decision not bound by lustration institute's service record regarding police pension calculation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Social Security Court dismissed the appeal against a pension reduction decision for a former security service officer. The court held that the Pension Fund Director's decision was not bound by the Institute of National Remembrance's service record, which classified a specific period as security service. The court ruled that the pension law and lustration law must be interpreted consistently, and since the legislature did not explicitly include the officer school in the lustration definition, the pension calculation stands.
