Généré par l'IA
Civil claim dismissed as statute of limitations expired; employer's conduct not inherently unlawful. Claim barred by 10-year limit from employment end date.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a compensation claim for occupational lung disease. The plaintiff argued the claim was not time-barred, but the Court held the limitation period expired ten years after the employment relationship ended in 1965. The Court determined that the employer's conduct, while causing harm, did not constitute a criminal offense requiring the extended ten-year limitation period from the crime's commission date.
Regeste Legislator
Généré par l'IAArt. 442 k.c.; Art. 6 k.k.; A civil claim for damages arising from an act prohibited by law is subject to a three-year limitation period from discovery, unless the act constitutes a crime, in which case the period is ten years from the act's commission, not the consequence.
