STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1958 - SECT 30

30.(1) Where any chattels are held upon trust, including a trust for sale, and
the period fixed by this Act has expired for the bringing of an action to
recover the chattels by the trustees, the title of the trustees shall not be
extinguished if and so long as the right of action of any person beneficially
entitled to the chattels either has not accrued or has not been barred by
this Act, but, if and when such right of action has been so barred, the title
of the trustees shall be extinguished.

(2) Where any chattels are held upon trust, including a trust for sale, an
action to recover the chattels may be brought by the trustees on behalf of any
person beneficially entitled in possession to the chattels or in the proceeds
of sale whose right of action has not been barred by this Act, notwithstanding
that the right of action of the trustees would apart from this provision have
been barred by this Act.

(3) Where any chattels held upon trust, including a trust for sale, are in the
possession of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in the chattels or in
the proceeds of sale, not being a person solely and absolutely entitled
thereto, no right of action to recover the chattels shall be deemed for the
purposes of this Act to accrue during such possession to any person in whom
the chattels are vested as trustee or to any other person entitled to a
beneficial interest in the chattels or the proceeds of sale.

Limitation of actions to recover arrears of a rentcharge.
