What are the limitation periods?
Personal injury claims become time-barred after 5 years (Article 3:310 DCC), or 20 years in cases of personal matters. Hearing and rejoinder must commence within the period to keep the claim valid.
Interruption and Exceptions
Interrupt with a registered letter. For minors, suspension applies until majority.
- Written notice for interruption
- Rejoinder in the pre-litigation phase
- Consult Supreme Court case law
Acting timely prevents loss of rights; do not allow the claim to become time-barred due to passivity.
