Abstract
The article discusses the issue of when the period of limitation for claims arising from breach of contract begins. Examination of potential solutions leads to the conclusion (confirmed by the Supreme Court in its resolution of 22 November 2013., III CZP 72/13) that the period in question commences on the day when the loss occurred – including the period of a reasonable delay in paying damages by the debtor – regardless of creditor’s awareness in this respect.
