Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the widow's cassation appeal regarding her right to a family allowance after her husband's death. The lower courts found she did not meet statutory requirements because she received a social security pension rather than a family pension before January 1, 1998. The court ruled that merely having the legal right to a family pension was insufficient; actual receipt of that specific benefit was a mandatory condition for the allowance.
