The Supreme Court partially quashed the lower court's judgment in a labor dispute involving a mentally incapacitated employee. The plaintiff argued that the statute of limitations should not have run because he lacked capacity to direct his actions due to psychiatric disturbances. The court held that the existence of total incapacity is a prerequisite for applying the limitation extension, and this status must be evaluated based on the knowledge of the legal guardian established after the incapacity declaration. Consequently, the court set aside the verdict regarding specific monetary claims while dismissing the appeal on other unrelated requests.
