English translation of the principle

An insurer's recourse action against the insured for the compensation paid to the injured party, based on the insured's breach of the insurance policy conditions, is time-barred upon the lapse of three years from the day the insurer pays the compensation amount to the injured party, as that is the event giving rise to its right of recourse.
