Pandemonium Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Any "Legal Eagles" out there, the Statute of Limitations in Thailand on Civil Matters - Someone breaks a binding contract, and I want to sue him, what is the Statute of Limitations on a civil case. This will be written into the law of Thailand somewhere, I just cant find it on Google, If I understood Thai, I would find it quickly, but sadly I do not understand it well enough to find something as complex as this. It has nothing to do with the extent of the civil claim, but there is a law that say after (??? 2, 3, 3,???) years you loose the right to file a civil case against another person. What is that period (Statute of Limitations) in LOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have never heard of a statute of limitations on civil suits. In fact, the phrase "statute of limitations on civil suits" is a contradiction, as a statute is a written law or code, and civil suits are specifically not envolving statutes, but rather liability a person or entity incurs as established by previous rulings by previous courts, which is called case law. Anyway, you need to call an attourney, or better, a few attourney's, and explain what you want to do. They will advise you if it is prudent to go forward with a suit.

jazzbo Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thai Civil Code *Section 448*. The claim for damages arising from wrongful act is barred by prescription after one year from the day when the wrongful act and the person bound to make compensation became known to the injured person, or ten years from the day when the wrongful act was committed.
