A statute is a formal, written law of a country or state, written and enacted by its legislative authority, perhaps to then be ratified by the highest executive in the government, and finally published. It is sometimes informally referred to as "black letter law."
The statute of limitations doesn't keep collectors from attempting to collect from you.
In essence, the statute of limitations works in your favor only if you're sued for a debt and you can provide proof that the statute of limitations on that debt has expired.
If the statute has expired and collectors are still trying to collect from you, sending a cease and desist letter is a viable solution.
In considering the penalty to be imposed on a person convicted of a crime under the present Statute, the Special Court shall take into account the extent to which any penalty imposed by a national court on the same person for the same act has already been served.
The accused shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to the provisions of the present Statute.
If, pursuant to the applicable law of the State in which the convicted person is imprisoned, he or she is eligible for pardon or commutation of sentence, the State concerned shall notify the Special Court accordingly.
