Prispevek obravnava sodobne smernice ureditve zastaranja, kot jih na narekujejo evropski modelni zakoniki PECL, DCFR in CESL, na mednarodni ravni pa načela UNIDROIT PICC. Prva smernica narekuje enostavno, jasno in enotno ureditev zastaranja. Druga določa kratek splošni zastaralni rok, ki naj v skladu s tretjo začne teči, ko upnik ve ali bi mogel vedeti za terjatev. Kot protiutež kratkemu splošnemu zastaralnemu roku četrta smernica določa uvedbo maksimalnega objektivnega zastaralnega roka. Peta zapoveduje večjo avtonomijo strank na področju zastaranja. V prispevku so predstavljene nemška in francoska ureditev zastaranja, ki sta bili po vzoru predstavljenih smernic že reformirani, ter švicarska, avstrijska in angleška ureditev, ki na tovrstno posodobitev še čakajo. V luči primerjalnopravnih smernic avtorica v prispevku kritično ovrednoti tudi slovensko ureditev zastaranja.

The article analyses modern trends of the law of prescription as they arise from the European model rules in PECL, DCFR, CESL and UNIDROIT PICC on international level. Firstly, there is a tendency towards a simple, straightforward and uniform prescription regime. Secondly, a regular period of prescription should be relatively short and thirdly, it should commence to run when creditor knows or ought to know about his claim. As a counterbalance to the core regime of a short period of prescription, a long-stop period is prescribed. Fifthly, there is a tendency towards a greater autonomy of parties concerning agreements on prescription regime. The article presents the law of prescription in Germany and France, which have been reformed in line with international trends. Furthermore, it deals with prescription regimes in Switzerland, Austria and England, which are still to be modernised. In the light of presented trends the author critically analyses the law of prescription in Slovenia.
