关于证券欺诈的诉讼时效研究

Study on Limitation of Action of Security Fraud

目前,我国关于证券欺诈类案件的诉讼时效适用于《民法通则》的一般诉讼时效为2年,最长时效不超过20年的规定,这种做法对复杂多变的证券交易行为不太适宜。本文在研究了国外证券发达国家有关证券诉讼时效的法律规定后,提出应采取不同于《民法通则》的规定,规定证券诉讼特别诉讼时效为1年,最长时效不超过5年,对特别情况可做例外规定。

At present, the limitation of action of security frauds adopt the regulation of《General principles of civil law》。The general limitation is 2 years and the longest should not exceed 20 years. This is not appropriate to the complex and changeable security transactions. On the basis of study on the regulation of the foreign countries whose security markets are flourishing, this paper expounds that the limitation of action should be different from that of General Principle of Civil Law. The special limitation of action should be 1 year, and the longest should not exceed 5 years. The particular cases should adopt particular regulations.
