Article 1548

Prescription of a right of action is interrupted by the institution of an action or by any other act of judicial recourse instituted in the required form by the person entitled to do so.

Where an action which has been instituted is not upheld, prescription is not interrupted, unless, within six months after the final judgment or other termination of the case, a new action is instituted and is as yet upheld. Where an act of judicial recourse is withdrawn, prescription is not interrupted.

Prescription of a right of action is also interrupted by an act to obtain a binding opinion, provided that the other party is expeditiously notified of it and that a binding opinion actually results. Where this is not the case sub-Article (2) applies mutatis mutandis.
