This work deals with the operation of limitation periods (prescription) related to actions in personam in the domain of the conflict of laws. It starts with a historical and comparatist analysis of its governing law in international relations before the rule adopted by the Brazilian law is shown: the law of the obligation as the governing law of the limitation rules (lex causae). Although limitation of actions is considered a substantive issue under Brazilian law, it is closely connected with procedural law in many aspects, since its main effect is to render an obligation unenforceable and thus terminate a lawsuit. Therefore, the author presents in detail the issues that are governed by the lex causae and the issues that are governed by the lex fori (also comprising the lex arbitri) related to limitations under Brazilian law, before he deals thoroughly with the operation of the public policy exception to the application of a foreign lex causae in such a matter (also comprising Brazilian imperative rules lois de police). And finally, this work handles the operation of statutes of limitation in proceedings for recognition and enforcement of foreign judicial and arbitral decisions in Brazil.
