Question juridique clé
Whether § 43 PKD allowed a zero-percent increase in index allowances for 2003 when the fund was underfunded and declining.
Solution extraite
Yes. A reduced increase under § 43(1) PKD could lawfully amount to a complete отказ of any increase.
Motifs extraits
The text did not exclude a 0% increase, the materials showed a deliberate broad discretion to avoid worsening underfunding, and any fixed minimum such as 50% had no basis in the decree.
