Part Third: Pleas of Inadmissibility

Article 62

1. An objection to lack of admissibility is any reason invoked by a party to declare inadmissibility of its opponent's request without examining its subject matter due to the lack of right to the lawsuit. It is considered one of the objections to admissibility, the objection to lack of capacity or lack of interest or the case already adjudicated or the expiration of the deadlines for judicial proceedings. 2. The objection based on the lapse of time is considered one of the objections to admissibility, while taking into account special provisions such as the provisions of Article 361 of the Law of Obligations and Contracts.

Article 63

Pleas of inadmissibility may be raised at any time during the proceedings. However, it is for the judge to award damages to the party who refrained from raising them early, with the intention of delaying and prolonging the proceedings.

Article 64

1. The court may raise an objection of inadmissibility when it relates to public policy, particularly if it results from non-compliance with the time limits for appeal or from the inadmissibility of using appeal procedures. 2. The court may raise, of its own motion, an objection of inadmissibility resulting from the lack of capacity or interest.

Article 65

If the reason giving rise to the inadmissibility plea is capable of being rectified, this plea shall be rejected if the reason has been eliminated at the time the court renders its judgment. The same shall apply if the person with standing to sue has become a party to the lawsuit before the time limit for forfeiture has expired.
