B. The Defendant’s defense of extinctive prescription was asserted that the period of extinctive prescription has expired since the Plaintiff filed an application for payment order from December 2, 2009 to May 7, 2015, when the five-year extinctive prescription period under the Commercial Act was expired from May 7, 2015, which was the date agreed upon for the above loan obligation.
