Abstract

The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand it intends to show the current situation of judicial decisions regarding civil interruption. In this regard asserts that until a Supreme Court judicial decision issued in 2016 it was settled that civil interruption take place with the notification of the lawsuit, then things begin to change toward the presentation of the lawsuit. In this regard the legal decision can be labelled as a refoundational decision. On the other hand, it states that nor this judicial decision neither the following that endorse it provide a persuasive justification to abandon the former precedent.
