https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169622 Section 14 of the Limitation Act is construed broadly to exclude the full period spent in prosecuting an infructuous civil revision petition, not merely the time after formal filing. The preparatory steps needed to institute the proceeding, such as obtaining copies and completing indispensable filing requirements, also count as part of the prosecuting period where due diligence and good faith are shown.
