Question juridique clé
Whether the claim for the burned household furnishings was time-barred
Solution extraite
The claim was time-barred because the plaintiff knew of the damage in 1987 and did not interrupt limitation in time.
Motifs extraits
The plaintiff remained the legal owner of the assets despite loss of disposal power; she could have sued or interrupted limitation by debt enforcement. Her argument that the full damage could only be assessed after closure of bankruptcy was rejected.
