Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling inflation adjustment per Civil Code is not compound interest.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by patent inventors against a lower court's judgment. The inventors argued that the court's inflation adjustment method violated the Civil Code, while the opposing party contended that compound interest would excessively exceed the actual loss of purchasing power. The court ruled that the statute leaves the valuation method to judicial discretion based on economic balance, rejecting compound interest as it would unjustly privilege the claimants beyond the actual inflationary loss.
