I think the point Karl is getting at here is that in most of the world,
courts do not set case-law precedents but merely apply the Civil Code as
written by the country's legislators. Thus if the 60-day period is not
written into the laws, it doesn't have any effect.

I'm not sure if any countries, other than former British colonies, would
have a system that recognizes case-law precedents.
