Definition of limitation

Definition: Limitation refers to the act of restricting or setting boundaries, or the state of being restricted or bound by certain rules or laws. It can also refer to a specific time period after which legal action cannot be taken.

Examples:

  • A statute of limitations sets a time limit on how long a person has to file a lawsuit or criminal charges.
  • A property owner may place a limitation on the use of their land, such as prohibiting commercial activities or building structures over a certain height.
  • A lease agreement may include a limitation that the tenant cannot sublet the property without the landlord's permission.

These examples illustrate how limitation can be used to restrict or regulate certain actions or behaviors. It is important to understand and abide by limitations in order to avoid legal consequences or conflicts with others.

Simple Definition

Limitation refers to a restriction or a period of time after which something cannot be done. For example, there is a limitation period for bringing a lawsuit or prosecution in court. In property law, limitation can refer to the creation of a lesser estate out of a fee simple or the automatic termination of a lease if the lessee defaults. There are different types of limitations, such as special limitations that cause an estate to end automatically and revert to the grantor upon the happening of a specified event, or executory limitations that cause an estate to automatically end and revest in a third party upon the happening of a specified event.
