You're quite right, Jane! That's exactly what the UK Limitation Acts are about. I've tried to hit on the GB/Brit. Comm. explanation. I'm sure yours is the right US/Can. ? version.

Perhaps some of the confusion here comes from the spelling of \"relève\" which probably ought to be \"relevé\":

Une requête en relevé de forclusion est présentée par le créancier lorsque celui-ci a omis de déclarer sa créance dans le délai de deux mois à compter de la publication au BODACC (Bulletin Officiel des Annonces Civiles et Commerciales) du jugement d\'ouverture de redressement ou de liquidation judiciaire pour des raisons indépendantes de la volonté du créancier. La possiblité de présenter une telle requête est elle même assortie d\'un délai, celui d\'un an à compter de l\'ouverture de la procédure collective.

\"Relèvement de forclusion\" also exists, apparently, and may have a different meaning.

I believe also that it is reverse, since only higher courts do this not regular court

relever is not relief; it is the idea of dismissing a previous judicial decision or whatever

note to William

I knew your answer was off prima facie....I know forclusion is not forclosure....except in very rare circumstances....sorry, William
Peer comment(s):

neutral KirstyMacC (X) : I accept - for the US - the party or court dismissal point, but there is no judgment to reverse. Wouldn't it really be the court SUSPENDING or stopping the statute of limitations? Statutes in the UK can be 'suspended' if incompatible with EU law.

I assume since it is in a court of appeal they are reversing a decision by a lower court; right? relever can mean that I believe

an action for relief from procedural time bar

or "an action for waiver of lapse of rights",
as in Legifrance's translation of the topic provision of France's Commercial Code, (see ref. 1):
Article L621-46
"Should they fail to submit a declaration of debt within the time limits to be laid down by an Order approved by the Conseil d'Etat, the creditors shall not be included in any distributions of assets or dividends unless the insolvency judge shall waive the lapse of their rights, where they prove that they were prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond their control. In any such case, they shall be entitled to be included only in any distributions effected after the date of their application.

Lapse of rights may not be pleaded against the creditors mentioned in Article L.621-43, first sub-paragraph, second sentence unless notice shall have been served on them personally.

An action for waiver of lapse of rights may be brought only within a period of one year from the decision to commence insolvency proceedings or..."

Where lapse of rights shall not have been waived, any undeclared debts shall be extinguished."

Here it refers to a bar, a legal impediment, which is different from the ordinary statute of limitation; it is a specific bar applying only within and for the purpose of the insolvency procedure;
"L'action en relevé de forclusion prévue à l'article L.621-46 du Code de commerce permet au créancier d'une entreprise en redressement judiciaire ou en liquidation judiciaire qui n'a pas déclaré ses créances dans les délais impartis de demander au Juge-Commissaire de le relever de la forclusion encourue afin d'éviter l'extinction de sa créance." (see ref. 2)

if a creditor has failed to declare his claim during that 1 year period, he can file an action for relief from procedural time bar; I think that this is a clear and non confusing translation.
Peer comment(s):

agree lenkl : I think you're right and that, as often happens, the best translation was not the one slected, although Counsel's is good.
