time-bar reforms

Time-bar reforms refer to changes in laws that set strict deadlines, called statutes of limitations, for initiating legal actions like lawsuits. These rules aim to encourage timely justice, prevent stale claims, and ensure evidence remains fresh. Reforms may extend or shorten these deadlines, balancing fair access to courts with legal certainty. For example, a reform might give individuals more time to file personal injury claims or tighten limits on when a claim can be brought after an incident. Overall, such reforms are designed to improve efficiency and fairness in the legal system by clearly defining when claims can be made.
