The context is the following:
Ce projet abandonne les poursuites judiciaires à l’encontre des islamistes qui se sont rendus aux autorités depuis le 13 janvier 2000 (date de forclusion des effets de la loi sur la concorde civile). I am a little stuck on how to phrase the sentence in brackets, any ideas? Daniela

date of statutory limitation for enforcement of the law
I'm fairly sure of the meaning. An example of the English usage is found at the web ref below:
"No statutory limitation shall apply to the following crimes, irrespective of the date of their commission"
"No statutory limitation shall apply to the following crimes, irrespective of the date of their commission"

expiry date of the effects arising form the law
Tricky one! Although the word "forclosure" exists in English, its meaning is much narrower than "Forclusion" and therefore not appropriate. As far as I know, there is no exact equivalent to "forclusion" in English. The phrase I have suggested conveys the correct meaning, although there are several ways to convey the same meaning.

I do not agree with Barbara. First, it is not the date for the enforcement of the statute which expires but only its effects (or one of it effects). I explain the difference: If X goes to the relevant judicial authorities after 13 January and is wrongly prosecuted, he can rely on the Statute to say that the prosecution is not founded i.e. the Statute is still in force and can still be enforced. The cut off date of 13 January has nothing to do with the date at which the Statute ceases to be in force. (2) I believe statutory limitation is not appropriate to the context.

After discussing with Barbara, i have to say that I am not sure about the right answer and I am still not convinced that she has the right answer. I wish my comment was more helpful

: I think you may be confusing "enforcement" and being "in force". The law may still be in force but cannot be enforced against X because it was not invoked within the statutory time limit.

I agree with you that it is different. Not sure about the correct answer I have to say.
