PART II.  INTERRUPTION AND PRESCRIPTION

§5801.   Involuntary dismissal;  failure to timely request service of citation

Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Article 2324(C), interruption is considered never to have occurred as to a person named as a defendant who is dismissed from a suit because service of citation was not timely requested and the court finds that the failure to timely request service of citation was due to bad  faith.  Nonetheless, as to any other defendants or obligors, an interruption of prescription, as provided in Civil Code Article 3463, shall continue.

Acts 1997, No. 518, §3, eff. Jan. 1, 1998.
