Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a compensation claim for occupational lung disease. The plaintiff argued the claim was not time-barred, but the Court held the limitation period expired ten years after the employment relationship ended in 1965. The Court determined that the employer's conduct, while causing harm, did not constitute a criminal offense requiring the extended ten-year limitation period from the crime's commission date.
Legislator headnote
