Commentary to the Resolution of a panel of seven judges of the Supreme Court of 11 December 2019, Ref. No. III UZP 7/19

Summary/Abstract: In the Resolution of the seven-judge panel of 11 December 2019, Ref. No. III UZP 7/19, the Supreme Court judged that the pension authority may choose the contribution payer to be an entity obliged to return the benefit unduly received by the insured, completely ignoring the issue of possible negligence of the payer and the possibility of reimbursement claim for benefits from the person to whom they were paid. The Supreme Court held that the mere sending of payment data by the payer is a sufficient prerequisite for the reimbursement request. Thus, the Supreme Court resolved a dispute between two competing trends in case law on this issue. In the Authors’ opinion, the commented resolution may in practice result in many negative implications for contribution payers, who often have no influence on the data provided to the pension authority. Such a restrictive view also raises doubts of constitutional nature.
