Salmond
The definition of prescription as 'the effect of lapse of time creating and destroying rights; it is the operation of time as a vestitive fact' is given by Sir John Salmond in his Jurisprudence. Salmond classified vestitive facts (facts which create or destroy rights) and treated prescription as one such fact operating through time. Positive prescription creates rights, e.g., acquisition of easements or title by adverse possession, while negative prescription extinguishes rights, e.g., under the Limitation Act. This distinction remains foundational to the Indian Limitation Act, 1963 and the Indian Easements Act, 1882. Therefore, this definition is authored by Salmond.
