Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision rejecting a request for retrial of a social insurance case. The applicant argued that the five-year limitation period under Article 408 of the Civil Procedure Code should not apply because he was properly represented and aware of the proceedings. The court found that the applicant had full capacity, participated in the trial, and received the judgment, meaning no legal impediment existed to the time bar. Consequently, the court held that the limitation period is preclusive and cannot be extended, leading to the rejection of the retrial request.
