Section 13(1)(e) of the Prescription Act provides that the usual term for the running of prescription is interrupted if the debtor is a member of the governing body of a juristic person creditor. The association in this matter argued that it was a juristic person for purposes of this section and that its claim against an owner in the estate did not prescribe after three years.
