Le interpretatio par aliam legem comme une règle pour définir le sens de l’article 2332 du Code Civil de la pr escription de la responsabilité délictuelle

摘要

In this paper it is revised the meaning of “perpetration of the act” term that article2332 of the Chilean Civil Code used as initial landmark of time of limitations fortort indemnification actions. The norm is compared with other norms about the same matter. We conclude that the majority of other norms begin their times of limitations in the fact that caused damage as starting point of their times of limitations, only consider its objective manifestation, but not the knowledge by the victims, and they also consider a maximum time since the fact that caused the damage; and, finally, that norms that are not clear about the starting point of their times of limitations, it is because of incorrect legislative technique.
