| 单词 | limitation |
| 释义 | limitation limitation the body of rules that prevent actions being raised after a lapse of time. Technically they are different from PRESCRIPTION rules. Limitation does not extinguish the underlying right, whereas pre- scription does. In England, the Limitation Act 1980 (as amended) applies a three-year limitation period to claims for personal injury and a six-year period to most other claims.In Scotland there is a three-year limitation period in respect of per- sonal injuries, but most other claims are dealt with under the short negative prescription of five years: Prescription and Limitation (Scot- land) Act 1973 (as amended). |
