How the limitation period applies

The controlling primary authority for CO oral contract SOL (Código Civil art. 2536) is Código Civil Colombiano art. 2536.

Código Civil Colombiano art. 2536. La acción ejecutiva se prescribe por cinco (5) años. Y la ordinaria por diez (10). La acción ejecutiva se convierte en ordinaria por el lapso de cinco (5) años, y convertida en ordinaria durará solamente otros cinco (5). Una vez interrumpida o renunciada una prescripción, comenzará a contarse nuevamente el respectivo término.
