| 单词 | Limitation of actions |
| 释义 | 訴訟時效 The time limit on a person’s right to issue legal proceedings. This principle is reflected in the equitable doctrine of laches and the Limitation Ordinance (Cap 347). A limit is set to avoid a miscarriage of justice due to stale evidence. The court may extend the period: Limitation Ordinance (Cap 347) ss 22, 22A. Ignorance of the law or inability to afford legal costs is not reason for extending the limit of time: Leung Tong Fuk v Chan Yuk Kwan: [1997] HKLY 547. See also Commencement date; Laches; Limitation period. 某人展開法律程序的時限。此原則反映在衡平法的疏忽延誤及《時效條例》（第347章）上。設定時限乃為防止因證據失去時效而導致司法不公。法庭可將時限予以延長：《時效條例》（第347章）第22、22A條。對法律無知或不能負擔訟費不能成為延長時限的理由：Leung Tong Fuk v Chan Yuk Kwan: [1997] HKLY 547。另見Commencement date; Laches; Limitation period。 |
