Explanation of Article 303
The article clarifies the effect of the transfer of obligation to the successor on the prescribed period of limitation, stating that the transfer of obligation does not lead to the interruption of the limitation period, as it is not one of the reasons for the interruption of the limitation period mentioned in Article $(Y\cdot Y)$. The successor receives the right from the predecessor with its attributes, including its limitation period. This article applies equally to the transfer of the right to a specific successor or a general successor, whether this right is transferred based on a legal act such as the assignment of the right, sale, or will, or based on a legal event such as inheritance. An example of this is the heir, for whom the limitation period that began during the life of the predecessor applies; if the debt is subject to a limitation period of ten years, and the predecessor dies after five years, the heir only has five years to claim the debt.
