Most of the lost cases concern so-called special pensions – for judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, career military personnel, those affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident, and ‘certain other categories of persons’.
These payments are governed not by the relevant legislation, as is the case for most Ukrainians, but by other regulatory acts. In such cases, the conditions for retirement and the formula for calculating payments are far more favourable; as a result, the amount of the special pension is higher than that for other Ukrainian citizens, writes Ekonomichna Pravda.
Having failed to succeed in the courts, the government is withholding payments by means of legislative restrictions. As a result, the actual capacity of the state budget has, for several years now, been the sole tool for countering ‘pension lawsuits’.
