What happens if a claim is denied and there is no lawful excuse?
After five years, no claim shall be heard in respect of certain rights, such as rights of doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, engineers, experts, professors, teachers, and brokers, if these rights are due to them by reason of professional services rendered or by reason of disbursements incurred. Additionally, moneys reclaimable by reason of overpayment of taxes or duties may also not be claimed after this time period, although certain special laws may still apply.
