Validity of property disputes

If a party has any misunderstanding about the calculation of the limitation of action, it shall pay all the property expenses. According to Article 135 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, the limitation of action for requesting protection of civil rights from the people's court is two years, unless otherwise stipulated by law.

Article 137 The limitation period of action shall be counted from the time when one knows or should know that one's rights have been infringed. However, if more than 20 years have passed since the right was infringed, the people's court will not protect it. Under special circumstances, the people's court may extend the limitation of action.

Article 138 After the expiration of the limitation of action, if the parties voluntarily perform it, they shall not be limited by the limitation of action.

Article 139 If the right of claim cannot be exercised due to force majeure or other obstacles within the last six months of the limitation of action, the limitation of action shall be suspended. From the date when the reasons for the suspension of the limitation of action are eliminated, the limitation of action shall continue to be counted.

Article 140 The limitation of action is interrupted by bringing a lawsuit, a party making a request or agreeing to perform an obligation. From the time of interruption, the limitation period of action shall be recalculated.
