L’interruzione e la sospensione della prescrizione del diritto fatto valere

Prior to the 1994 legislative reform, the interruption of the prescription period referred to the application for arbitration was derived from its classification as a private act of a default notice or as an act of legal autonomy. After the mentioned reform, on the other hand, the interruption of the prescription period (instantaneous and permanent) was fully accepted on the assumption of the full equalization between the application for arbitration and a legal summons, also in compliance with the principle of “due process of law” (art. 111 cost.).
