Abstract

The statute of limitations for filing civil lawsuits is an important legal issue in civil proceedings, as it directly affects the right to initiate legal proceedings and, more broadly, the right to request the court to protect the lawful rights and interests of the parties. This article examines the legal provisions governing the determination and application of the statute of limitations in the resolution of civil disputes and identifies a number of difficulties and shortcomings arising in practice. On that basis, the article proposes recommendations for improving the legal framework governing the determination and application of the statute of limitations in civil proceedings.
