Social security contributions pre-2003 subject to 5-year limitation period under old law version.

The Supreme Court refused to issue a ruling on the legal question regarding the limitation period for social security contributions. The applicant argued that obligations arising before January 1, 2003, were extinguished by the five-year limitation period applicable at the time. The Court determined that the transitional rules of the Civil Code require applying the old law's five-year period to debts not yet time-barred on December 31, 2002. Consequently, the Court declined to answer the question, effectively dismissing the applicant's request for a binding precedent on the matter.
