Interruption and Suspension of Prescription

Interruption and Suspension of Prescription

Similar to tolling of a statute of limitations, prescription may be suspended in certain situations, for example, where prescription is suspended as between spouses during marriage. If prescription is interrupted, the time that has run is not counted, and prescription begins to run anew from the last day of the interruption. For example, prescription is interrupted when a lawsuit is filed in the proper court; and acquisitive prescription is interrupted when possession is
lost.
