This book offers an in-depth exploration of the legal ground for commencing actions, with separate attention to both civil suits and defenses. It investigates the theoretical framework that should underpin any legal action, offering a comprehensive classification of different actions and proceedings. Unlike most legal texts, this volume is accessible to the non-specialist; it presents the law in a clear and engaging manner, using straightforward language and examples to illustrate even the most complex concepts. Readers are guided through topics such as the statute of limitations, the accrual of causes of action, the commencement of suits, the impact of fraud on the statute of limitations, and the suspension and revival of actions. The author also delves into the specific legal procedures used in common law jurisdictions, such as declarations, summonses, and pleadings. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of legal procedure and the theoretical underpinnings of civil actions and defenses.
