Supreme Court dismissed appeal; statute of limitations for compensation began when victim learned of health damage via medical report.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court judgment that rejected the plaintiff's claim for compensation and pension. The plaintiff argued that the three-year limitation period had not expired, while the defendant contended it had passed since the accident occurred in 1989. The court ruled that the limitation period commenced on August 1, 1996, the date the plaintiff received the medical commission's report confirming his worsened health status, thereby establishing the start of the limitation clock.
