Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling that using statute of limitations defense requires proof of abuse of rights under Civil Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to uphold a worker's compensation claim. The plaintiff sought damages for a work-related illness, while the employer argued the claim was time-barred. The court found the lower court failed to investigate whether the employer abused its rights by raising the defense, as the plaintiff did not prove exceptional circumstances warranting such an exception.
