The Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review filed by the Minister of Justice against a lower court's decision to deny interest on coal allowances. The court found that the employer had fulfilled the monetary compensation for coal allowances within the agreed deadlines, making the debt time-barred. Consequently, the court ruled that the Civil Code's provision on interest adjustment applies only to wages not paid on time, not to those already received.

Art. 358 § 1 pkt 3 k.c.; Art. 300 k.p.: The provision on interest adjustment applies only to remuneration not paid within the agreed term, as applying it to paid wages violates the specific rules of labor law.
