NORTHERN IRELAND
This Order amends the law of limitation of actions in negligence cases involving latent damage (other than personal injuries) and provides for the accrual, in certain circumstances, of a cause of action in negligence to successive owners in respect of latent damage to property. It also reduces the limitation period for libel actions from six years to three years, and authorises the High Court to extend the limitation period for defamation actions where relevant facts become known to the potential plaintiff only after that period has expired.
