AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding the caducity of a civil action. The appellant argued for a substantive time limit on rights, while the court clarified that the relevant statute only sets procedural deadlines. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicable procedural time limit governs the case rather than a substantive caducity period.
