Social security appeal allows new evidence; court quashes lower court ruling for procedural error.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision and remanded the case for a new trial. The applicant argued that the lower court incorrectly limited evidence to documents already before the administrative body. The court held that social security proceedings are appellate in nature, permitting new facts and evidence not previously considered. Consequently, the court ruled that the right to early retirement depends on the total duration of work, not just the evidence available at the time of the administrative decision.
