Particularities of the extinctive prescription

Abstract

In everyday life we always use elements of time periodization - in years, months, semesters, weeks or hours. From a legal point of view, all these elements can be defined by a single notion - term. The delay may lead to the occurrence of legal effects in the sense of acquiring certain rights or to the termination of other legal effects in the sense of extinguishing certain rights. In the latter case, the notion 'term' expresses the idea of a sanction, which may also concern the error, negligence or recklessness of those concerned in following or complying with the provisions of the law, as regards the units of time in which their rights must be exercised. The paper proposes for research comparative elements between various types of sanctions, which involve deadlines. Also included were the similarities, which I noticed during the research of several civil codes - of France, Italy and the Russian Federation, including that of the Republic of Moldova. These proposals were interspersed with the objective of this paper - a better understanding of the subject by paying special attention to the comparison process, because we consider this method of research effective.
