The Supreme Court partially overturned a lower court's dismissal of an occupational disease claim regarding the statute of limitations. The plaintiff sought compensation and pension for work-related spinal injuries, while the defendant argued the claim was time-barred under Labor Code provisions. The court ruled that Civil Code limitation rules govern such claims, meaning the lower court erred by applying the Labor Code to dismiss the case.
