### sec.17 Accrual of right of action in cases of forfeiture or breach of condition
A right of action to recover land by virtue of a forfeiture or breach of condition shall be deemed to have accrued on the date on which the forfeiture was incurred or the condition broken, but where such right has accrued to a person entitled to an estate or interest in reversion or remainder and the land was not recovered by virtue thereof, the right of action to recover the land shall be deemed not to have accrued to that person until the person’s estate or interest fell into possession as if no forfeiture or breach of condition had occurred.
