What You Need to Know about Limitation Laws
Circumstances may occur that will demand that you approach the court of law for justice. When an occasion demands that you should approach the court of law for justice, there are some facts you need to know before instituting an action in court. One of these facts is whether the suit you want to file in the court is one which has a specified period of time within you can file the suit. If it has a specified period of time, you need to find out whether you are within time or out of time in filing the suit. If you are within time, you can go ahead to file your suit. If you are out of time, you cannot file your suit in court. This is the general position of the law.
There are however exceptions to this general position of the law. There are instances where, though you are out of time in filing a suit, the law permits you to file your suit. We shall discuss these instances in our subsequent article. Meanwhile, our focus here is the general position of the law which says that you must file your suit within the period of time prescribed by law. Any law that prescribes a period of time within which action can be instituted in court is called “Limitation Act,” “Limitation Law” or “Statute of Limitation.” Examples of Limitation Act/Law or Statute of Limitation are:
- Limitation Act CAP 522 Law of the Federal Capital Territory;
- Limitation Laws of the 36 States of the Federation;
- Public Officers Protection Act CAP P41 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004; and
- Public Officers Protection Laws of the 36 States of the Federation
Below is a table showing actions you can institute in the court of law and the periods within which you can institute the actions:
S/N | ACTIONS | LIMITATION PERIODS |
1 | Any action against public officers, government agencies, ministers, etc | 3 months |
2 | Actions for judicial review. | 3 months |
3 | An action to recover penalty or forfeiture, or a sum by way of penalty or forfeiture by virtue of an enactment. | 2 years |
4 | An action to recover an amount recoverable against concurrent wrongdoers under a civil liability enactment relating to concurrent wrongdoers. | 2 years |
5 | Actions claiming damages for negligence, nuisance or breach of duty (whether the duty exists by virtue of a contract, under an enactment or independently of a contract or enactment) | 3 years |
6 | An action claiming damages for slander | 3 years |
7 | An action founded on Tort (except negligence, nuisance and breach of duty) | 6 years |
8 | An action for an account. | 6 years |
9 | An action for arrears of interest in respect of a debt. | 6 years |
10 | An action for recovery of money | 6 years |
11 | Actions founded on simple contract | 6 years |
12 | Actions founded on quasi-contract | 6 years |
13 | Actions to enforce recognisance | 6 years |
14 | Actions to enforce an arbitration award (where the arbitration agreement is not under seal or where the arbitration is under an enactment other than the Arbitration and Conciliation Act) | 6 years |
15 | Action in respect of Trust Property (Property held in trust for another) | 6 years |
16 | Actions to recover arrears of conventional rent, rent charges and Annuities charged on moveable properties | 6 years |
17 | Actions in respect of conversion or wrongful detention and further conversion | 6 years |
18 | An action upon an instrument under seal, other than an action upon an instrument to recover | 12 years |
19 | Any principal sum of money secured by a mortgage or other charge | 12 years |
20 | Arrears of interest in respect of a sum of money secured by a mortgage or other charge | 12 years |
21 | Arrears on an annuity charged on moveable property | 12 years |
22 | An action to enforce an arbitration award where the arbitration award is under seal | 12years |
23 | An action to recover a sum due to a registered company by a member thereof under its articles of association | 12 years |
24 | Actions to recover land by any person | 12 years |
25 | An action upon a judgment | 12 years |
26 | Actions in respect of the personal estate of deceased persons | 12 years |
27 | Actions to recover land by a State | 20 years in Abuja & 12 years in Lagos |
28 | Actions in respect of sale of mortgage properties/charges by a State authority | 30 years |
In view of the above, any action you institute in court outside the specified limitation period will be statute barred. The other lawyer in the suit will file a Notice of Preliminary Objection in the court to challenge the jurisdiction of the court on the grounds that the action is statute barred, and/or plead the defence of statute of limitation in his statement of defence and ask the court to dismiss the case as the action is statue barred. If the court finds that you instituted the action outside the period specified by the law, it will dismiss the case.
However, as stated earlier, there are instances where you can still file a suit in the court outside the specified period. In our next article, we shall discuss these instances. Make sure you stay glued here to read the article.

How to Register Your Business Name in Nigeria
Business name registration is optional. You are not compelled to register your business name. If you choose to carry out your business in your own name, you are not bound to register it. But if your business requires supplying goods or offering services to companies, NGOs (non-governmental organizations), governments and government agencies, then, it is advisable to register your business name. This is because corporate organizations prefer dealing with businesses which names are registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
Again, you may want your business to have its separate bank account. In that case, the bank will require that your business must be registered with CAC and you need to present a copy of the certificate of your business name’s registration to the bank before the bank can open your business account. Further, having a business name puts you in a position to obtain loan or overdraft from banks.
Requirements for Registration
To register your business name, the following information and documents are required by CAC:
- Name, date of birth, occupation, address, email address and phone number of the proprietor or proprietors.
- Two passport photographs of the proprietor.
