Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's rejection of the insured's claim for sick pay. The insured argued for a recalculation of benefits based on higher commission rates earned during short-term sick leaves, but the court found the claim time-barred. The court ruled that the statute of limitations expires ipso iure, meaning the insured loses the right to the benefit and has no procedural means to seek compensation after the deadline passes.
