Art. 592 Special cases
1 The five-year prescriptive period may not be invoked against a creditor seeking satisfaction solely from undivided partnership assets.
2 Where a partner takes over the partnership’s business with all its assets and liabilities, he may not invoke the five-year prescriptive period against its creditors. By contrast, for partners who have left the partnership, the five-year prescriptive period is replaced by the three-year prescriptive period in accordance with the principles governing assumption of debt; the same applies in the event that a third party takes over the partnership’s business with all its assets and liabilities.
