Centre for Methodology of Law, Faculty of Law, Kulak Kortrijk Campus

A person who wants to claim damages must go to court. However, if he waits too long, he is denied this possibility. This is the result of the extinctive prescription: the deprivation of the possibility to enforce your rights in courts. For this purpose the extinctive prescription works with a strict time limit. Nevertheless, there are several situations where this period is felt to be unjust, for example when the damage becomes apparent long ...

On 7 November 2002, Pope John Paul II granted the faculty to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “to derogate from the terms of prescription on a case by case basis, at the motivated request of individual bishops.” Msgr.

Apart from the question of unfair competition during the exams, the misuse of prescription stimulants can also have detrimental psychological and physical health ...

In this project, we will optimise and develop a highthroughput bioanalytical assay based on μSPE-LC-MS/MS capable of ...

The situation has caused considerable damage, particularly to the priesthood and its hierarchy.
