The Council of State, Greece’s supreme administrative court, on Tuesday issued five rulings awarding back payments of wrongfully cut pensions to pensioners for the period between June 2015 and May 2016, ANA reports.
The court found in favor of pensioners that had appealed against the pension cuts, seeking their backdated return for the above period. All those that had contested the cuts in court will receive backdated payments.
Those that have not yet initiated proceedings for the return of the sums withheld reserve the right to do so in the future. The government also has the option to pass legislation to return the sums due for those 11 months to those that have not yet claimed them in court.
