Meaning: Where a person cannot act, the limitation period does not run.
Explanation: Statutes of limitations are suspended if the claimant was prevented from bringing suit; ensures fairness for those who discover harm late or were impeded.
Example: A student prevented from filing a complaint due to institutional obstruction should not be time-barred.
