Postal operator's claim for unpaid services barred by general statute of limitations, not postal law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the postal operator's claim for unpaid services, ruling that the general Civil Code statute of limitations applies rather than the specific Postal Law provision. The operator argued for a shorter limitation period under the Postal Law, but the court found no specific rule extending or shortening the general period for this type of claim. Consequently, the court applied the standard five-year limitation period under the Civil Code, which had expired by the time of the lawsuit.
