Supreme Court dismissed claim for delay damages as no causal link between trial delay and plaintiff's health condition was proven.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages due to the delay in the traffic accident compensation proceedings. The plaintiff alleged that the prolonged litigation exacerbated their chronic back pain and caused a tear in their intervertebral disc, while the defendant argued the medical condition was pre-existing and unrelated to the legal process. The court found insufficient evidence to establish a causal connection between the procedural delay and the worsening of the plaintiff's health condition, thereby rejecting the damages request.
