(2) That the act done by the person in respect of which the action is commenced must be an act done in pursuance or execution of any law, public duties or authorities or in respect of alleged neglect or default in the execution of any such law, duty or authority. Where however there is continuing injury being suffered or the wrong is a continuing one, the position of the Law is that the Limitation period shall not apply".
