In this report are the final recommendations for the reform of the law on the limitation period for civil claims (both criminal and family proceedings are excluded). A single, core limitation regime is proposed which consists of a primary limitation period of three years from the date on which the claimant knows, or ought to know, the facts which give rise to the cause of action, and a long-stop limitation period of 10 years.
The Law of Limitation offers a comprehsive analysis of the impact of periods of limitation on civil litigation in England and Wales.It examines the individual periods of limitation prescribed by the Limitation Act 1980 (as amended) in respect of specific causes of action and concludes with a discussion of the principal statutory limitation periods other than those governed by the 1980 Act.The book also contains an Appendix of useful precedents
This work is an analysis of the law relating to limitation of actions. The authors have approached this work by setting out general matters such as the relationship between statutes of limitation and equitable principles on the matter of delay in instituting proceedings the generalities of accrual of a cause of action and the relationship between limitation periods and rules of pleading and procedures. The bulk of the text sets out the particular difficulties encountered in particular areas of civil litigation. For these purposes it includes specific sections on contracts and commercial law, tort, restitutionary claims and actions in respect of real and personal property. While these four broad areas cover the majority of limitation issues, the problem with the subject generally is that there is such a diverse range of statutory limitation periods that there are some limitations upon a legal remedy which do not readily fall into the four categories referred to above and are dealt with separately. Finally, it analyses the issues arising from the burgeoning case law on the matter of prevention, extension and postponement of limitation periods
