A more thorough explanation: “To set up the statute of limitations” refers to the act of establishing or invoking the legal time limit within which a lawsuit or legal action must be filed in order to be considered valid. This time limit is set by law and varies depending on the type of legal claim or offense. Once the statute of limitations has expired, the claim or action is no longer enforceable in court.
Example: The plaintiff must file a lawsuit within the time frame set up by the statute of limitations in order to pursue their claim.
