คดีเกี่ยวกับการจัดการทรัพย์สินในระหว่างผู้เยาว์กับผู้ใช้อำนาจปกครองนั้น ห้ามมิให้ฟ้องเมื่อพ้นหนึ่งปีนับแต่เวลาที่อำนาจปกครองสิ้นไปถ้าอำนาจปกครองสิ้นไปขณะบุตรยังเป็นผู้เยาว์อยู่ ให้เริ่มนับอายุความในวรรคหนึ่งตั้งแต่เวลาที่ผู้เยาว์บรรลุนิติภาวะ หรือเมื่อมีผู้แทนโดยชอบธรรมขึ้นใหม่
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
An action relating to the management of property between the minor and the person exercising parental power cannot be entered later than one year from the time when parental power ceases. If the parental power ceases while the child is a minor, the period mentioned in paragraph one is computed from the time when the child becomes sui juris or has a new legal representative.
