French term or phrase: depuis temps n'emportant pas prescription
In a summons, this sentence states the charges brought against the accused.

"en tout cas sur le territoire national et depuis temps n'emportant pas prescription"

Would it be correct to say: "in any case on French territory and within a time not prescribed by statute" ???
or does this phrase simply mean the statute of limitations has not yet passed ?

Many thanks for clarification on this.

Explanation:
Il s'agit d'une expression extrêmement courante en droit français, synonyme de "depuis temps non prescrit". Cela signifie que la prescription (time limit) n'est pas acquise, en d'autres termes que le délai pendant lequel on peut agir en justice n'est pas expiré. Cette expression se rencontre surtout en matière pénale.

DONC, votre idée que "the statute of limitations has not passed yet" est tout à fait correcte, foi de juriste !

Attention, pour répondre à EMPHYRIO : le seul crime imprescriptible en droit français, c'est le crime contre l'humanité. Pour les autres infractions :
- Contraventions : prescription = 1 an depuis le dernier acte interruptif
- Délits : prescription = 3 ans (idem)
- Crime : prescription = 10 ans (idem).
Sauf : en matière de presse & incitations à la haine raciale : courte prescription de 6 mois (idem)
et pour les crimes et délits contre les mineurs : la prescription commence à courir à compter du 18ème anniversaire de la victime.
Bien à vous,
Coralie

and with unlimited time limit


Explanation:
I think in this context there is NO statute of limitations - a time that does not have a prescription on it, ie a serious crime which can still be prosecuted after 6 years.

Asker: I think the idea here was as "Formation CFK" explained - the statute of limitations has not yet passed.
