诉讼时效下的“裸体权利”——关于诉讼时效设置合理性之反向思维考察

On “Naked Rights” in Limitation System——A Review of Reasonability of Limitation

超过诉讼时效期间的债权债务处于法律不再调整的自然状态,自然状态下的债权人的债权或者权利人的权利在学理上被称为“裸体权利”。我国《民法通则》规定的诉讼时效制度不很合理,尽管2003年官方颁布的《民法典草案》讨论稿对此作了修改,但仍不够完善。因此,本文在分析诉讼时效下“裸体权利”形成原因的基础上,反思我国关于诉讼时效制度的设置合理与否,认为即使是在诉讼时效制度设置相对完善的情况下所导致“裸体权利”产生,也应该给予“裸体权利”人在不违背诉讼时效制度理念的情况下以充分的救济可能。

Claims and debts out of limitations of actions are beyond the legal regulation, and creditors＇ rights under such natural circumstances are known as ＂naked rights＂ in theory. The limitation system defined in China＇s General Principles of Civil Law is not reasonable and the amendment in the Draft of Civil Code is not perfect yet. The paper makes a review on the reasonability of the limitation system based on the cause analysis of ＂naked rights＂ It is concluded that even with the ＂naked rights＂ resulted from a relatively refined limitation system, creditors should also be given adequate legal remedy without violating the basic principle of the limitation system.
