The case concerns establishing the fact of the wife being dependent on her deceased husband for the purpose of receiving a survivor’s pension.
Key arguments of the court: The Supreme Court considers that establishing such a fact should occur through civil special proceedings, not administrative legal proceedings. The court emphasized that establishing the fact of dependency is provided for by procedural legislation and is necessary for the woman to exercise her right to a pension, as she cannot obtain the relevant documents due to the city’s occupation.
The court decided to cancel previous court decisions and refer the case for a new review to the court of first instance to establish the fact of dependency.
