Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a farmer claiming disability benefits. The lower court had rejected medical experts' opinion that the applicant was not totally disabled, relying instead on its own assessment of her symptoms and daily struggles. The Court ruled that judges cannot disregard specialist medical opinions on disability using only general logic or common experience, as such matters require specialized medical knowledge.
