Section 9

No action shall be brought by any person to recover any land after the expiration of 12 years from the date on which the right of action accrued to him, or, if it first accrued to some person through whom he claims, to that person.

Nothing in this section or in section 11(2) shall be deemed to affect the provisions of the Government Proceedings Act 1956, or to apply to any person registered under or by virtue of the provisions of the Land Titles Act 1993 as the proprietor of the land sought to be recovered, or to any person claiming through a person so registered, except to the extent that such Act so provides or permits.

This section shall not apply to an action to recover land from a person by reason only of his unauthorised occupation of the land.
