PRESCRIPTION AND LIMITATION 2nd Edition SULI David Johnston For the practitioner questions of prescription and limitation arise almost every day and can be of exceptional importance. Yet in all but the simplest case it is far from straightforward to identify precisely when a right or obligation has been extinguished by negative prescription, when it has been fortified by positive prescription, or when it has been barred by limitation. The terms of the statute that governs most of these questions, the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, are complex and sometimes obscure. There is therefore a need for a close examination of the 1973 Act and its operation in practice. That is the purpose of this book. Publishing Dec 2012, 9780414018389, Hardback, £155.00
