Third-party proceedings are open on a principal basis for thirty years from the date of the judgment unless the law provides otherwise.
The third-party proceedings may be brought without any time limit against a judgment produced in the course of other proceedings by the party against whom they are brought.
In contentious matters, however, it is only admissible on the part of the third party to whom the judgment has been notified, within two months of this notification, provided that the notification indicates in a very apparent manner the time limit available to the third party as well as the methods by which the appeal may be exercised. The same applies to appeals in non-contentious matters where a decision of final instance has been notified.
