Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the attorney liability claim was time-barred despite the claimant learning of the alleged error only in 1993.
Decisione estratta
The claim against the attorney was already prescribed under Art. 127 CO; the first interrupting act occurred only on 1995-07-19, too late.
Motivazione estratta
The limitation period began with the omission in 1981. Once the claimant knew of the mistake in 1993, he had to react promptly. Waiting more than two years after that knowledge was untimely, so invoking prescription was not abusive.
