Supreme Court dismissed appeal; 3-year statute of limitations applies to occupational disease compensation claims.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a coal miner seeking supplementary occupational disability pension. The court held that the three-year limitation period under the Civil Code began when the employee became a pensioner in 1993, rejecting the defendant's argument for a ten-year period. The court further ruled that the limitation period's application did not violate good morals, as the plaintiff failed to prove exceptional circumstances justifying an extension.
