Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A saving clause. The general rules on prescription in this Title yield to any specific rule of prescription laid down elsewhere in the Civil Code or in a special law. Where a statute fixes its own period or its own manner of counting for a particular action or right, that provision governs and this Title supplies only what the special rule leaves unaddressed.
