Limitation period

A limitation period is the deadline after which a claim can no longer be brought.

Miss it and the claim is gone regardless of its merits, which is why limitation is the deadline lawyers track most carefully.

Deadlines in a case file arrive buried in correspondence and orders rather than in a calendar. Getting them out of the documents and into a calendar, with the document that set them attached, is the whole job.
