Supreme Court allows extension of statute of limitations for labor dispute due to employee's lack of fault and legal inexperience.

The Supreme Court set aside lower court rulings that dismissed an employee's claim for reinstatement due to a missed filing deadline. The employee argued he was not at fault for missing the 14-day limit because of incorrect legal advice and attempts at out-of-court settlement. The court held that the law does not specify a strict form for requesting a deadline extension and requires a subjective assessment of the employee's knowledge and circumstances, finding the lower courts' rigid approach erroneous.
