Simple English definitions for legal terms

repose

Read a random definition: absolute-bar rule

A quick definition of repose:

Repose means taking a break from doing something. It can also refer to a law that says you can't sue someone after a certain amount of time has passed, even if you haven't been hurt yet. This law is called a statute of repose and it starts counting down from a specific event, not when you get hurt. It's different from a statute of limitations, which starts counting down from when you get hurt or when you realize you've been hurt.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Repose refers to a temporary break or cessation of activity. It can also refer to a legal term called "statute of repose," which is a law that sets a specific time limit for bringing a lawsuit.

Example 1: After a long day of work, I found repose in my comfortable bed.

Example 2: The statute of repose for product liability claims in this state is 10 years. This means that even if someone is injured by a product after 10 years have passed since it was manufactured, they cannot sue the manufacturer.

Example 3: The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in this state is 2 years. This means that if someone is injured by a product, they have 2 years from the date of the injury to sue the manufacturer. However, the statute of repose for product liability claims in this state is 10 years, which means that even if the injury occurs within the 2-year statute of limitations, the injured person cannot sue the manufacturer if more than 10 years have passed since the product was manufactured.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of repose. Example 1 shows how repose can refer to a temporary break or rest. Example 2 shows how the legal term "statute of repose" sets a specific time limit for bringing a lawsuit, even if the injury has not yet occurred. Example 3 shows how the statute of repose can affect the ability to bring a lawsuit, even if the injury occurs within the statute of limitations.
