In “presumptive prescriptions”, the assumed fact is not only the performance of the obligation but also any means of extinguishing the obligation provided by law. Consequently, a debtor who brings a set-off counterclaim does not assert a defense inconsistent with the claim of presumptive prescription. However, critical issues remain when defendants are the heirs of the original debtor and such defendants are unable to confirm by oath that they are aware of facts which extinguish the original obligation.

Abstract
In “presumptive prescriptions”, the assumed fact is not only the performance of the obligation but also any means of extinguishing the obligation provided by law. Consequently, a debtor who brings a set-off counterclaim does not assert a defense inconsistent with the claim of presumptive prescription. However, critical issues remain when defendants are the heirs of the original debtor and such defendants are unable to confirm by oath that they are aware of facts which extinguish the original obligation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
