Supreme Court allows rent claim via statute of limitations defense, ruling specific installments expire separately.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for compensatory rent, ruling that the statute of limitations applies to specific rent installments individually. Although the general limitation period for periodic payments was not yet expired, the court held that the plaintiff's right to each installment expires separately upon the passage of ten years from the incident. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new decision on the costs of the cassation proceedings.
