The Supreme Court set aside the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for special miner's bonuses and annual pay. The lower court had rejected the claim as premature, arguing that the legal basis for the bonuses required a separate preliminary proceeding to determine the employer's fault in the dismissal. The Supreme Court ruled that such factual determinations are prejudicial to the main claim and must be resolved within the same lawsuit, as a separate proceeding would lack legal interest and be futile.

Art. 386 § 1 KPC; Art. 386 § 4 KPC; Art. 393 § 1 KPC: A court cannot dismiss a claim for payment as premature solely because the underlying legal relationship requires prior factual determination, as such determination is prejudicial to the main claim and should be resolved within the same proceedings.
