prorogation du délai pour agir

Explanation:

Selon cette section 29, si une personne qui peut faire l'objet d'une action en justice dans un délai fixé par loi, reconnaît (un fait ?) ou effectue un paiement partiel, le délai imparti pour agir est prorogé.

On connaît des situations semblables en français, sinon en droit français :

« Le délai prévu à l’article 62 ne peut être ni suspendu ni interrompu mais
la personne à qui une réclamation est adressée peut à tout moment pendant le
cours du délai proroger celui-ci par une déclaration adressée à l’ayant droit. Le
délai peut être de nouveau prorogé par une ou plusieurs autres déclarations. »

« Fallait-il dans ce cas faire courir la prescription à compter de la conclusion du contrat initial ou de l’avenant, permettant ainsi au demandeur à l’action en requalification de bénéficier en quelque sorte d’une prorogation du délai pour agir ?

« il convient de souligner que l'état d'urgence sanitaire a pris fin le 10 juillet 2020 de telle manière que la SA FLOA disposait d'une prorogation du délai pour agir de deux mois à compter de cette date soit jusqu'au 10 septembre 2020 »

renouvellement du droit au recours juridictionnel

Explanation:

réinitialisation / extension du délai au droit à un recours juridictionnel?

When some action "restarts the counter" regarding the statutes if limitation, strictly speaking it's not a "new right", it's only an existing right that is being extended, i.e. will be valid for a longer period.

If the right to judicial enforcement is lost due to the statutes of limitation, it's gone for ever - there is no way some "new" right could be created.

Also, when some obligation is past the statute of limitation - at least in UK - it's still legal to demand the execution of the obligation - so strictly speaking the "right to action" is in fact never lost, it's only the right to "legal action in view of enforcement through courts" that is lost.

The "right to ask for payment" of a 20 -30 years old debt is not lost, what is lost is only the "right to enforce the obligation through legal action".

A distinction that should be reflected in the translation.
