The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the review regarding the maximum indemnity limits for traffic accident victims. The court determined that the new Article 508 of the Civil Code, amended by Law 281-B/85, applies exclusively to accidents occurring after its entry into force. Consequently, the plaintiff's claim for a higher indemnity based on the new limits was rejected for an accident that predated the amendment.
