Book Description
Prescription is a major legal defence that bars civil actions after the expiry of the prescription period on the claim. This book thoroughly examines the law of 16 selected jurisdictions and extensively analyses in comparative perspective the elements of prescription, their interrelations, and the policy considerations (including economic analysis). While the book focuses on prescription of tort claims the analysis, comparisons and conclusions are most pertinent to most civil actions.
