Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the bank's reconventional monetary claims were time-barred
Decisione estratta
The claims admitted by the cantonal court were not prescribed; limitation was interrupted by the payment notices, later payment notices, the reconventional answer, and also by the debtors' partial payments on the current account.
Motivazione estratta
Prescription began with the 10 December 1993 denunciation, but was repeatedly interrupted under the Swiss Code of Obligations; the ten-year period never ran out.
