Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the pensioner's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's order to return overpaid benefits. The court found that the lower courts correctly determined the insured received benefits without full qualifying periods, creating a legal obligation to repay. The Supreme Court rejected the claim that the first-instance court failed to investigate financial circumstances for partial repayment, stating such issues do not affect the core question of whether the benefits were legally due.
