In general ,
the expiration of a contract puts an end to all the engagements of the parties ,
except to those which arise from the non -
fulfillment of obligations created during its existence .
For example ,
the expiration of a partnership so dissolves it ,
that the parties cannot in general create any new liability ,
but it still subsists ,
to enable the parties to fulfill engagements in which the partners have engaged ,
or to compel others to perform their obligations towards them .
See Dissolution ;
Contracts .
3 .
When a statute is limited as to time ,
it expires by mere lapse of time ,
and then it has no force whatever ;
and ,

the first statute is ,
i so facto ,
revived by the expiration of the repealing statute ;
