What is a 'Statute of Limitations'?

  1. A specific legal requirement

  2. A law which limits the time for starting a legal action

  3. A rule governing the procedure of courts

  4. A historical legal document

The correct answer is: A law which limits the time for starting a legal action

A statute of limitations is a law that sets a specific time limit on when legal action can be taken. Option A is incorrect because it does not specify a time limit. Option C is incorrect because it is describing a court procedure rather than a limitation on when legal action can be taken. Option D is incorrect because it refers to a historical document rather than a current law. Option B accurately describes what a statute of limitations is.
