Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted military accident compensation. The applicant argued that the ten-year civil limitation period should not apply because the disability worsened years after the 1979 accident. The court held that the specific 1972 Act on military benefits establishes its own time limits, excluding the general Civil Code limitation rules.
