Publisher's Synopsis
Since the last edition of this text, the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 has been further amended by the Age of Legal Capacity (Scotland) Act 1991 and the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995. The rules on prescription and limitation of actions are highly complicated, but directly relevant to contract, delict, property and conveyancing. This extensively revised edition takes account of amendments to recent legislation, introducing references to all new illustrative cases reported since the last edition in 1990.
