Kopalnia jako miejsce wykonywania pracy górniczej uprawniającej do emerytury górniczej

Abstract

The Act of 17 December 1998 r. on old-age pensions and disability pensions from the Social Insurance Fund provides for mining old-age pension awarded under the preferential rules. Namely some miners have right to retire before the statutory retirement age, especially in case they are employed in mines of kinds specified by statute. The paper considers the notion of “mine” with regard to Act of 9 June 2011 — the mining and geological law, particularly regulation concerning concession for exploitation of minerals from deposits and mining plants. The prescriptions of the latter Act, which refer to liquidation of mining plants, as well as the Act of 7 September 2007 on functioning of the mining industry, must be taken into account to answer a question when the mine becomes inactive.
