Civil Transactions Law

Without prejudice to any legal provision, a claim for any of the following rights made against the party denying such rights may not be heard upon the lapse of five years: a) Rights of professionals, such as physicians, lawyers, and engineers, for professional services they rendered and for expenses they incurred. b) Renewable periodic rights, such as the rent of real property, wages, regular payments, and the like. As an exception, a claim may not be heard upon the lapse of 10 years if the right is a revenue in the possession of a holder acting in bad faith or a revenue an administrator of an endowment must pay to a beneficiary.
