Transitional law

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a transitional law refers to provisions that regulate how at a change in the law with already incurred situations to proceed is.

For example, as part of the major modernization of the law of obligations on January 1, 2002, the statute of limitations was redesigned and the regular limitation period was shortened from thirty to three years. For claims that arose before January 1, 2002, the transitional law in Art. 229 § 6 EGBGB stipulated that the statute of limitations also commences after three years, but does not begin to run until January 1, 2002.
