ENLimitation periods
General and special limitation periods differ under the law of obligations. Even a well-founded claim may become unenforceable if it is not raised in time.
Law of Obligations
Every promise, a binding obligation.
The strength of an obligation is usually settled before the contract is even signed.
Overview
Obligations quietly govern almost the whole of daily life: from a sale to a lease, from a service agreement to a construction contract, every promise the parties exchange gives rise to a legally binding duty. Most disputes stem from the scope of those duties not having been set out clearly enough when the contract was formed.
The firm stands with its clients at every stage, from the moment an obligation arises to the resolution of any dispute. From drafting and negotiating the contract to conducting default and compensation proceedings, the aim is to protect the client's rights while reducing the risk to which they are exposed to a minimum.

Points to Note
What matters
in practice.
The points that most affect the outcome in this area, and are most often overlooked.
Written form and proof
Oral agreements are also valid; but when a dispute arises, it is usually the written record in hand that proves the claim.
Default and notice
Many rights arise only once the debtor has been placed in default by a proper notice. The timing and content of that notice directly affect the outcome.
