Explanation of Article 693
The article clarified the statute of limitations for the right of usufruct; a claim for the right of usufruct will not be heard if it has not been used for a period of ten years. The calculation of this period begins from the date of cessation of the use of the right of usufruct. If the period lapses, the right of usufruct ends, and the right reverts to the owner of the property, and the usufructuary loses the right of usufruct due to the statute of limitations. Thus, the statute of limitations that extinguishes the right of usufruct is considered the sixth reason for the termination of the right. All the provisions mentioned in the first section of this system regarding the non-hearing of the claim, such as suspension, interruption, and the court not ruling on the statute of limitations on its own, and other provisions, apply to the statute of limitations here.
