Supreme Court dismisses cassation, ruling new law cannot override old rules if it denies pension rights upon re-disability.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying a family pension to the applicant. The deceased father had been receiving a periodic farm pension and later re-entered the social security system after regaining capacity, but the lower court denied the family pension because he failed to meet the 20 quarters of insurance requirement under the new 2004 law. The Supreme Court held that the new law's direct application would violate the constitutional essence of social security protection by preventing the father from qualifying for a farm pension upon re-disability, thus applying the old law instead.
