AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a pension denial decision. The applicant argued for recognition under new disability criteria effective September 1997, but the lower courts correctly applied the law valid at the time of the original administrative decision in June 1997. The court held that judicial review is limited to the legal standards existing when the administrative act was issued, preventing the application of subsequent legislative changes to past decisions.
