[Reporter Huang Liangjie/Kaohsiung Report] A man surnamed Lin in Kaohsiung broke up with his ex-girlfriend because of cheating on him. Four years later, he found out that the daughter was not his own. After 20 years, he realized that the daughter was not his own. He sued for compensation angrily. 500,000 yuan, but lost the lawsuit due to the two-year statute of limitations. Lawyer Chen Jinsheng reminded that even if the case is only known now, it has been more than ten years since the incident happened, and the statute of limitations of the claim has also expired.

Chen Jinsheng said that in this case, Lin Nan requested compensation for "infringement damages". According to the regulations, the biological father or mother of the baby girl is required to return the four years of support expenses, and the "unjust enrichment" of the civil law is claimed. The statute of limitations for the right to claim is 15 years, which is much longer than the statute of limitations for "tort damage".

Chen Jinsheng pointed out that the statute of limitations for the right to claim compensation for damages in civil law torts is calculated from the time when the damage has occurred and the obligor who should pay compensation is known. If the right to claim is not exercised within two years, the statute of limitations will naturally expire; Only when it is known that there is damage and a person obliged to make compensation, the statute of limitations of the right to claim is also extinguished; as for criminal law prosecution, the prosecution period for the victim is usually six months.
