Statute Barred in UK Law
-
Bell v Peter Browne & Company
“
A remediable breach is just as much a breach of contract when it occurs as an irremediable breach, although the practical consequences are likely to be less serious if the breach comes to light in time to take remedial action.
-
Forster v Outred & Company
“
Mr. Stuart-Smith says that it is any detriment, liability or loss capable of assessment in money terms and it includes liabilities which may arise on a contingency, particularly a contingency over which the plaintiff has no control; things like loss of earning capacity, loss of a chance or bargain, loss of profit, losses incurred from onerous provisions or covenants in leases. They are all illustrations of a kind of loss which is meant by "actual" damage.

Hoddinott v Persimmon Homes (Wessex) Ltd
“
The first is to notify the defendant that the claimant has embarked on the formal process of litigation and to inform him of the nature of the claim. The second is to enable the defendant to participate in the process and have some say in the way in which the claim is prosecuted: until he has been served, the defendant may know that proceedings are likely to be issued, but he does not know for certain and he can do nothing to move things along.

Ketteman v Hansel Properties Ltd
“
On that date the second and third defendants learned that they might have a limitation defence which they had not known about before, that is to say the houses might have been "doomed from the start". The second and third defendants and their advisers had had no reason to think before 10th December that a cause of action could accrue if a house were erected which, due to negligent design or construction, was "doomed from the start".

Doreen Ann Letang (Respondent) Frank Anthony Cooper (Appellant)
“
A cause of action is simply a factual situation the existence of which entitles one person to obtain from the Court a remedy against another person. But it is essential to realise that when, since 1873, the name of a form of action is used to identify a cause of action, it is used as a convenient and succinct description of a particular category of factual situation which entitles one person to obtain from the Court a remedy against another person.

Godwin v Swindon Borough Council
“
This appeal is, of course, centrally concerned with limitation. The relevant time period after which the present action may not be brought is 3 years from the date on which the cause of action accrued, that is the date of the accident. For relevant purposes, the claim is brought by issuing the claim form. This was done in the present case just before the expiry of the 3 year limitation period. In addition, the claim form has to be served in accordance with the rules.

Leal v Dunlop Bio-Processes International Ltd
“
I share the opinion of Lord Justice Slade that if it is wrong to allow the plaintiff to continue these statute-barred proceedings by extending the validity of his writ under O. 6 r.8 to enable the plaintiff to apply to issue a concurrent writ for service out of the jurisdiction under O. 6 r.6, it must be wrong to allow him to continue them by giving him leave to serve it out of the jurisdiction under O. 11 r.1.
