Pension Cost-of-Living Adjustment Indexation Period

A dispute arose concerning the proper calculation of a cost-of-living adjustment for a pension, where the claimant argued the indexation should be based on the official consumer price index for the period following the claim, while the opposing party maintained the adjustment should cease upon the filing date of the action. The court reasoned that the right to the adjusted pension amount arises with the claim, and therefore, the relevant indexation period extends until the date the court issues its decision on the matter, as this represents the time until the payment obligation is judicially determined and enforced.
