Decided April 30, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert H. Reiter, Washington, D.C., with whom John H. Spaulding, Bethesda, Md., was on brief, for appellant.

Alexandra Wyman Cathcart, Arlington, Va., for appellee.

Before NEWMAN, FERREN and ROGERS, Associate Judges.

NEWMAN, Associate Judge:

To decide this appeal, we must determine whether the twelve-year time period contained in D.C. Code § 15-101 (1981) is a limitation on the jurisdiction of the Superior Court or whether it constitutes a statute of limitation.1 We conclude that it is a statute of limitation; we reverse the trial court's ruling to the contrary.
