Response to The Law Society recommend 3 year limitation period after repossession

Article 6 of the ECHR (aka the Human Rights Act) states that trials and all civil hearings must be brought within 'a reasonable time' and that they must be 'fair'. It would seem that there is unease about lenders' claims that they to have the power to initiate court proceedings up to 12 years after repossession, for a number of reasons. If any change in Limitation law is predicated on the Human Rights Act, it is going to be very significant that the HRA is, effectively, retrospective.
