Titre XXXIV:
De la Prescription
(On Prescription)
Chapitre I:
Dispositions générales
(General Provisions)
Nul ne peut renoncer qu'à la prescription acquise. La renonciation est expresse ou tacite ; elle sera tacite, si elle résulte d'un fait qui suppose l'abandon du droit de prescription.
Life lesson:
You can only give up a prescription you've already earned — not a future one. And actions speak as loudly as words.
Notes:
Renunciation: only of acquired prescription (not future). Express or tacit (from abandonment conduct). No advance waiver.
