Supreme Court allows social insurance claim for non-farmers under EU Regulation 1408/71, rejecting domestic law exclusivity.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of Kazimir G.'s appeal regarding his social insurance status. The court found that the 1948 Poland-Czechoslovakia treaty did not cover non-farmers, leaving the matter to be governed by EU Regulation 1408/71 instead of the Polish Social Insurance System Act. Consequently, the court ruled that the regulation's provisions on determining the applicable law for self-employed individuals in another member state take precedence over domestic exclusivity clauses.
