revival of cause

revival of cause
The revival of a cause of action barred by the statute of limitations. 34 Am J1st Lim Ac §§ 289-336. According to the weight of authority in this country, the term "revived cause of action" has two distinct meanings. One refers to a cause of action barred by the statute of limitations, and brought to life again in the manner provided by statute, as by a new promise in writing signed by the debtor. The other meaning refers to a cause of action the statutory life of which has been revived or restored in the same manner, but before the cause of action has become barred by the statute. Bullard v Lopez, 7 NM 561, 37 P 1103.
