Nullum Tempus Act

Read a random definition: ex legibus

A quick definition of Nullum Tempus Act:

The Nullum Tempus Act was a law in England that limited the amount of time the government had to sue people in land and other matters to 60 years. Before this law, the government could sue people at any time because they were too busy with other things to worry about legal matters. This law changed that and made it so the government had to sue within a certain amount of time.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Nullum Tempus Act
Definition: The Nullum Tempus Act was a law in English history that limited the time the Crown had to sue in land and other specified matters to 60 years. Before this law, the Crown had no time limit to sue. The law was created in 1769 and amended in 1862. It changed the common-law rule of "no time or place affects the Crown" which meant that the Crown was too busy with government affairs to attend to its legal affairs.
Examples: If the Crown wanted to sue someone for land, they had to do it within 60 years of the event. If they waited longer than 60 years, they could not sue. This law helped to ensure that legal matters were dealt with in a timely manner.
