Limitation of Actions Act 1936

When the person claiming any land or rent claims in respect of an estate or interest in possession granted appointed or otherwise assured by any instrument (other than a will) to him or some person through whom he claims, by a person being in respect of the same estate or interest in possession or in receipt of the profits of the land or in receipt of the rent, and no person entitled under that instrument has been in such possession or receipt, then the right to make an entry or distress or bring an action to recover the land or rent shall be deemed to have first accrued at the time when the person claiming as aforesaid or the person through whom he claims became entitled to such possession or receipt by virtue of that instrument.
