《Comments》

This section would be a compound provision from two different models as follows:

• [Primary model] Civil Code of Brazil (1916), Art.161;
  • [I] The waiver (renuncia) of prescription may be express or tacit, and it will only be effective (só valerá) when made, without prejudice of third persons, after the prescription is consummated.
  • [II] The waiver is tacit when it is presumed from acts (factos) of the interested party incompatible with the prescription.

• [Secondary model] Japanese Civil Code (1896/98), Art.146;
  • The benefit of prescription cannot be renounced (waived) in advance.

• [Third model] German Civil Code (1896), Sec.768;
  • [I] A surety may set up all defences belonging to the principal debtor. If the principal debtor dies the surety may not avail himself of the fact that the heir has only a limited liability for the obligation.
  • [II] The surety does not lose a defence by reason of the fact that the principal debtor has waived it.

The other miscellaneous sources are as follows:

• French Civil Code (1804), Art.2220:
  • Prescription cannot be renounced by anticipation ; prescription acquired may be renounced.
• Schweizerisches Obligationenrecht (1911), Art.141:
  • [I] Auf die Verjährung kann nicht zum voraus verzichtet werden.
  • [II] Der Verzicht eines Solidarschuldners kann den übrigen Solidarschuldnern nicht entgegen gehalten werden.
  • [III] Dasselbe gilt unter mehreren Schuldnern einer unteilbaren Leistung und für den Bürgen beim Verzicht des Hauptschuldners.
