Favorable ruling by the Supreme Court
After a hearing, the Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff’s cassation appeal in a case against a law firm client for more than 3 million in damages for alleged defects in a construction project and errors in author’s supervision.
The District Court awarded such amount to the defendant designers. Following an appeal filed by the firm, the Court of Appeals modified the judgment and dismissed the claim in its entirety. The cassation appeal against the decision of the ad quem court was brought by the plaintiff. The Supreme Court accepted the complaint for hearing, but in its final decision
dismissed the complaint and ordered the plaintiff to pay the costs. The legal dispute focused on the beginning of the statute of limitations for tort liability and the legal distinctiveness of the ex contractu and ex delicto liability regimes.
