Statues of Limitation refer to the maximum duration of time that can lapse between the discovery of a crime and the action taken against the accused.

Explanation:

In Roman-German law, Statues of Limitation is an institute that aims to regulate the loss of the right to sue, due to the expiration of a certain period of time. That is, Statues of Limitation refer to the maximum duration of time that can lapse between the discovery of a crime and the action taken against the accused.

By comparative law, Statues of Limitation is equated with the limitation period of the Common Law.
