In “An Update on Limitations” Jessica Barrow surveys recent decisions on the ultimate limitation period, stressing that courts are strictly applying the statutory language in section 15 of the Limitations Act and treating the identified “act or omission” as the controlling trigger. Using cases such as Patterson, Tesaro, Wyatt, Henneberry and Hoer, she shows how policy concerns about certainty, stale evidence and diligence are driving a rigid approach to old claims and narrow readings of exceptions, and offers practical guidance on identifying the actionable conduct, testing for statutory exceptions and choosing the right procedural route.

 

In “Registering Court Orders on Title and Using Section TAB 26 11 Restrictions,” Meredith McLennan explains how Land Registry Office requirements and the 2024 court-order bulletin determine what can be registered, how orders must be drafted, and why clarity, valid legal descriptions and self-destructing clauses are essential. She also outlines how Section TAB 26 11 restrictions can be used to control dealings with property, deter fraud, support conditions in real-estate matters and protect vulnerable owners, while noting that removing such restrictions usually requires consent or a further court order.

 

Taken together, the programs equip practitioners to handle limitation risk and title-related court orders more confidently, aligning technical compliance with effective client protection.
