Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation periods for legal proceedings in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The court recognized the challenges faced by litigants and initially extended the limitation period from March 15, 2020, until further notice. However, with the improvement in the pandemic situation and the resumption of court operations, the court decided to end the extension, specifying that the period from March 15, 2020, to March 14, 2021, would be excluded from the computation of limitation periods.
