摘要
我国《民法通则》将起诉作为诉讼时效中断的事由之一,于中断效力结束时诉讼时效期间重新计算,这就意味着对于经过诉讼由人民法院生效判决所确认的民事权利的保护仍可以适用诉讼时效。但依我国《民事诉讼法》的规定,对民事权利的保护因起诉进入诉讼程序后应适用诉讼法上的期限制度,从而使《民法通则》规定的诉讼时效的适用失去了可能。对这一矛盾的解决有两种方案可供选择,一是采大陆法系各国民法的做法,取消民事诉讼法对申请强制执行期限的规定,统一适用诉讼时效制度;二是采取我国目前的做法,民法诉讼时效制度适用于当事人起诉前阶段,当事人起诉后则适用诉讼法上的期限制度,同时将起诉作为诉讼时效的终结事由而不是中断事由。两种方案各有优点和不足,我国未来民法典对此应做出科学的选择。
General Principles of Civil Law takes starting an action as one of the reasons for the discontinuation of limitation of action , thus the limitation of action resunes at the termination of the effect of discontinuation.This means the protection of civil rights confirmed by the People' s cram conviction through litigation is still applicable to limitation of action . According to the regulations of Civil Procedural Law , the protection of civil rights should apply the course system in Civil Procedural Law when entering the the procedure by litigation , which makes the application of the limitation of action in General Principles of Law probably impossible.Two strategies are selective to solve this contradiction.The first is adopting the regulation of the respective civil laws in Civil Law System abolishing the regulation of execution course in Civil Procedural Law and tmiversally apply the system of limitatiom of action . The second is accepting the strategy applied by Chinese jurists - - - prior to the parties starting an action , limitation of action in civil law is applied ; after starting an action , the course system in procedural law is applied , meanwhile , starting an action is taken as the reason for the termination of limi "tation of action , not for discontinuation . However, the two strategies have their own merits and demerits , therefore, the forthcoming China' s Civil Code should have a scientific consideration.
