Supreme Court rejects age discrimination claim, ruling EU Treaty Art. 13 is not a direct source of individual rights.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding compensation and pension for a work accident. The plaintiff argued that the employer's obligation to pay supplementary pension was limited until retirement age, violating EU anti-discrimination rules. The court held that EU Treaty Article 13 grants legislative competence to the Community rather than creating direct individual rights, and that the accident occurred before Poland joined the EU, making EU law inapplicable.
