Help me!
Hi, I just wanted to correct your statement that if a cause of action arises earlier than the Limitations period allows, then a claim cannot be filed. In New South Wales, Australia, (and I suspect, in other States of Australia, I haven't checked for absolute certainty), it can be. This is important, the obligation (in NSW) is upon the defendant to raise this defence i.e. that the cause of action is barred by the defence of being outside the limitations period. The distinction is important, as it becomes a live issue, and the question the date of when the cause of action commenced is sometimes a real live moot point. In some ways, more importantly, if the defence to the effect of being "barred by expiration of the limitation period" is not pleaded, then that possible defence can be considered as having not been raised, and thereby having been abandoned as to a defence to a claim that might otherwise have been statute barred.

In that I know this is a subtle distinction between "not being able to file a claim", and "being able to file a claim, but with a possibility that it might be succesfully defended or struck out (on the basis of a limitations period)" I offer that this distinction might apply for many other jurisdictions. It can be (very) important, and I believe that it is an important distinction, as being the correct statement, for some, and possibly many, jurisdictions. There are practical implications that arise from this distinction. I haven't got a clue as to how to submit this "edit" proposal, other than by this message to you.

I am a retired lawyer, in NSW, post 20+years of experience.

I feel I've probably ventured into the Talk Pages, what I wanted to do was to offer a possible editing into the Wikipedia pages regarding the operation and effect of Limitations periods with civil jurisdictions, from a NSW Australia perspective.
