Abstract
The problem of interruption of the limitation period by a motion to call for a pre-trial settlement is one of those issues that have been widely discussed by legal authors and judicature. Although the judiciary’s position that such motion interrupts the period of limitation is well-established (in spite of discrepancies as to details), some legal scholars and commentators have presented views to the contrary. The purpose of this article is to enrich these views with new arguments, which could be used e.g. by the Supreme Court when deciding the legal issues in case no.
