English translation of the principle
The insurer’s recourse action against the insured for the compensation it paid to the injured party, based on the insured’s breach of the insurance policy terms. It is time-barred upon the lapse of three years from the day the insurer paid the compensation amount to the injured party, since that event gave rise to its right of recourse.
