Can the case of ten years ago still be prosecuted?

If a case, whether civil, administrative or criminal, was filed ten years ago, the statute of limitations would be interrupted. Before making a decision, the statute of limitations has not been recalculated. So in theory, there is no problem in re-prosecuting.

But in reality, except for criminal cases, the possibility of not handling it in 10 is too small. If it has been dealt with at that time, the limitation period of action shall be recalculated from the time when the result is announced. If it has exceeded the limitation period so far, although it is possible to sue, once the other party raises a limitation defense, the court will reject the plaintiff's claim.

1. If a people's procuratorate, a public security organ or a state security organ files a case for investigation or a people's court accepts a case, it is not limited by the time limit for prosecution.

2. If the victim files a complaint within the time limit for prosecution, and the people's court, people's procuratorate or public security organ should file a case but not file it, it is not limited by the time limit for prosecution.

Extended data:

When a procuratorial organ brings a public interest lawsuit, it should take "public interest is damaged" as the standard in the scope of accepting cases. Any public interest is damaged, so it can bring a public interest lawsuit.

However, the scope of accepting cases should not be too wide, and it should be limited. At the same time, civil public interest litigation should be different from administrative public interest litigation.

Regarding the requirements of litigation and prosecution, due to the different provisions of the Civil Procedure Law and the Administrative Procedure Law, they should also be different in these two aspects; Regarding the time limit for prosecution, the Civil Procedure Law does not stipulate, while the Administrative Procedure Law stipulates that it is six months. Considering the protection of public interests and the maintenance of legal order, and considering the setting of pre-litigation procedures, it is suggested that the prosecution period should be two years.

Since public interest litigation also involves the interests of specific individuals, private individuals should be allowed to claim compensation directly based on the results of public interest litigation.

As for the litigation costs, because the procuratorial organs bring public interest litigation to represent the interests of the public and exercise public power, they don't have to pay the litigation costs, but they are not exempt from payment.
