In a pursuit upon a bond saved from the negative prescription by interruptions, this defence was laid, That the bond was fraudulently elicited by an interdictor from the person interdicted, without any onerous cause. It was answered, That any challenge of fraud, formerly competent, is now cut off by prescription. Replied, The exceptio doli never prescribes. Temporanea ad agendum sunt perpetua ad excipiendum. The prescription was found to take place. See Appendix.
