Prescription
A time limit after which a claim may no longer be enforceable.
What it means
Prescription is a legal time-limit concept. If it applies, a claim may become unenforceable after a certain period. The details can be technical and fact-dependent.
Why it matters at work
Treat prescription as a deadline risk. AI can help list facts and questions, but the period and interruption rules need verified legal sources or a lawyer.
Beginner mistake
Trusting a chatbot’s exact prescription date without checking the law and facts.
Example prompt
List the facts a lawyer would need to assess possible prescription: dates, acknowledgments, payments, notices, documents, and source questions.
