When someone hasn't claimed their right to a property for a long time, is the period called 'prescriptive period'?
For instance, if somebody holds a property and the owner doesn't bring his claim within a year, the person becomes the owner 'by prescription'. It was used a lot in the Roman law.
Is that true?
