两者均与时效有关。尽管statute of limitation (诉讼时效法） 有时也可被称为“statute of repose”（时效休眠法）[1]，但statute of limitation是与所涉及的诉讼时效与伤害（after injury occurs) 有关，按其规定，在伤害发生后一特定期间内如不起诉则会丧失诉权[2]。而statute of repose则与伤害无关，按其规定，不论是否有伤害发生（regardless of whether there has yet been an injury),只要超过某一特定时间，任何诉权便将终止[3]。
[1]“ While statutes of limitation are sometimes called statutes of repose... " Cf. The Publisher's Editorial Staff, Black's Law Dictionary, abridged 6th edition, at p. 639，West Publishing Co. (1991).
[2]“The statute establishing a time limit for suing in a civil case, based on the date when the claim accrued (as when the injury occurred or was discovered). ” Cf. Bryan A. Gamer, Black’s Law Dictionary, 7th edition, at p. 1122, West Group (1999).
[3]“Statute of limitation bars right of action unless it is filed within a specified period of time after injury occurs, while statute of repose terminates any right of action after a specific time has elapsed，regardless of whether there has as yet been an injury. ”Cf. The Publishers Editorial Staff，Black's Law Dictionary, abridged 6th edition, at p. 639，West Publishing Co. (1991).
