LA INTERRUPCIóN NATURAL DE LA PRESCRIPCIóN EN MATERIA DE RESPONSABILIDAD POR VICIOS DE LA CONSTRUCCIóN: COMENTARIO A LA SENTENCIA PRONUNCIADA POR LA EXCELENTíSIMA CORTE SUPREMA DE JUSTICIA, CON FECHA DE 29 DE OCTUBRE DE 2008 EN EL RECURSO DE CASACIóN EN EL FONDO

the judgment which is hereby commented, which was recently issued by the chilean supreme court of justice, contains a dangerous argument. the generalization of this case law in our legal system would run against principles that constitute the fundamental basis of the concept of statute of limitations. indeed, the argument sustained in the judgment commented could eventually lead to the illogic situation that actions arising from warranty obligations or obligations to repair damages would never expire, thereby affecting certainty, legal security and the basic principles of our legal system.
