time-barred or statute-barred Explanation: or "barred", according to LGDT. Im my opinion you understand rightly. The warranty shall remain in force for demands related to tax liabilities even after the facts or deeds concerned are time-barred.

Après que la prescription s\'applique aux faits \"fiscaux\" en question (3 ans en France, si je ne m\'abuse). |

have been reached/effected Explanation: Reads to me as it does to you - a long-way round saying that due to the very nature of the liabilites in question, the guarantee will take effect and remain effective beyond the limitation period. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-18 14:09:18 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- \"effected\" as in rendered effective, brought into operation : Collins English Dictionary AFFECT : 1-to act upon, to influence, especially in an adverse way. 2-to move or to disturb emotionally or mentally 3-to attack (of pain, disease…) 4-the emotion associated with an idea or set of ideas 1-to put on an appearance or show 2-to imitate or assume, especially pretentiously 3-to have or use by preference 4-to adopt the character, manner of 5-to incline habitually towards, to strive after EFFECT : 1-to cause to occur, to accomplish 2-to take effect, to become operative or begin to produce results www.m-w.com Main Entry: 2effect Function: transitive verb Date: 1533 1 : to cause to come into being 2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : ACCOMPLISH <effect a settlement of a dispute> b : to put into operation <the duty of the legislature to effect the will of the citizens> synonym see PERFORM usage The confusion of the verbs affect and effect is not only quite common but has a long history. Effect was used in place of 3affect as early as 1494 and in place of 2affect as early as 1652. If you think you want to use the verb effect but are not certain, check the definitions in this dictionary. The noun affect is sometimes mistakenly used for effect. Except when your topic is psychology, you will seldom need the noun affect. |
