This law review article discusses the tolling of the statute of limitations in cases that have been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or improper venue. It examines the general rule that statutes of limitations are not tolled during the pendency of such cases unless a specific statute provides otherwise. The article reviews Virginia's 'saving' statute and its judicial interpretation, particularly in the case of Jones v. Morris Plan Bank, and compares it with federal law and other states' laws. It also discusses the implications of federal court decisions, such as Burnett v. New York Central Railroad Co., on tolling in federal question cases and diversity cases.
