Supreme Court allows employee interest claim in employer bankruptcy despite statute of limitations expiry due to creditor status.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the employee's claim for interest on unpaid wages in the employer's bankruptcy proceedings. The employee argued that the statute of limitations did not apply because they were a privileged creditor, while the opposing party contended the limitation period had expired. The court ruled that the specific provisions granting priority to wage claims in bankruptcy suspend the general statute of limitations, thereby preserving the right to interest.
