Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders, insurers, and transport lawyers rely on tolling of prescription when limitation periods are threatened by circumstances outside the parties' full control. Tolling suspends a running limitation period without wiping out elapsed time: as long as a tolling event persists – ongoing settlement negotiations, administrative proceedings, or a force majeure situation – the clock stops, resuming only once that event ends. Time already elapsed counts toward the total period, which is precisely what distinguishes tolling from interruption, where the period resets entirely to zero. In international cargo claims, tolling is particularly significant because regulatory delays, cross-border service of process, and jurisdictional complexity can make timely formal action difficult to guarantee.
