When is the deadline for action to recover land or rent?
The catalogue records a 20 years period from Time at which the right to make the entry or distress, or to bring the action, first accrued. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 years
- Trigger
- Time at which the right to make the entry or distress, or to bring the action, first accrued
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- None expressed in s 10. Sections 11 and following define when the right is deemed first to have accrued in specific fact patterns, which is where the real analysis lies.
- Governed by a SEPARATE statute. Limitation of Actions Act s 3(a) expressly excludes 'a claim to which the Real Property Limitations Act applies' from the 2014 Act, so the two-year discovery period and the fifteen-year ultimate period do not apply to land recovery claims. Sections 2 to 9 of the Real Property Limitations Act were repealed by the 2014 Act (2014 c 35 s 27), so the surviving scheme begins at s 10. Section 22 extinguishes title: at the determination of the period, the right and title of the person to the land or rent is extinguished, not merely barred. Crown claims have a longer period - see s 21.
