Limitation Laws: Decoding the Law on Debarring

 

The very first thing a lawyer needs to look at when a client walks into their door is the limitation period on the cause of action brought before them. In case the grievance caused to the client is affected by the statute of limitation, they will not be permitted to bring their complaint before a court of law. Limitation law prevents miscarriage of justice caused due to corrosion of proof, tampering of evidence and fading memory of witnesses over time. It restricts the time period for filing of complaints. Often lawyers miss out on a potential lawsuit because they are not well versed with the scope of applicability of this law. Awareness regarding the exceptions and exclusions to limitation and the plausible justifications to seek condonation of delay are oftentimes lacking in the legal fraternity and scholars.

It apprises you on the strict application of this law, when the exceptions to limitation come into play and in what situations its applicability can be excluded. You will also learn to analyze what meets the threshold of invoking a condonation of delay.
