In cases where the plaintiff is limited to the person aggrieved and there are repeated or continuing offences, it is unreasonable to have the period of statute of limitation commence upon the plaintiff*s initial identification of the offender, the reason being that it is inevitable that the period of statute of limitation will expire while the offence is repeated or continues. Therefore, the period of statute of limitation should commence upon the plaintiff*s knowledge of the offender*s most recent offending act or when the offence has ceased.
En passant, the interpretations made by Judicial Yuan, unless the underlying law or regulation is revised, remain effective and shall not be compromised until itself being amended.
