A propositura de demanda judicial para discutir a dívida como causa interruptiva da prescrição da pretensão executiva

The article aims to demonstrate that filing a claim to contest a debt constitutes a cause for interrupting the statute of limitations on the right do collect. The debtor’s acknowledgment of the existence of the debt is one of the factors that interrupt the statute of limitation. When the debtor files a claim to dispute the debt, they implicitly acknowledge the existence of the obli-gation, thereby interrupting the limitation period. This applies when the debtor files an annulment action or even a motion to set aside a judgment.
