 Limitation Act 1963

The Limitation Act 1963 (1963 c.47) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that amended the statute of limitations to allow actions in some cases where the injured party had not discovered the injury until after the standard date of expiration.The Act was based on the report of the Davies Committee on Limitation of Actions in Cases of Personal Injury, created after the Court of Appeal decision in the case of "Cartledge v Jopling", and the Committee notably produced their final report before "Cartledge" had been heard in the House of Lords.
