French term or phrase: arrêt du chronomètre
Hello. This appears as follows in a document describing the seizure of a property by the Courts:
"Le Tribunal, vu l’arrêt du chronomètre voulu par la loi sans nouvelle enchère, adjuge ledit immeuble a Maitre XXXX, Avocat, moyennant le prix principal de XXXXX outre l’acquit des frais préalables aux clauses et conditions du cahier des conditions de vente."
I'm hoping that someone knows exactly how this should be translated. Many thanks in advance :)

  -> thanks, but see my comment below, I now think this is wrong!
neutral  Daryo: there is the idea of "time-limit" in the ST, but should "statute barred" be applied to an auction that must be finished - (no more waiting for new bids)? Usually "statute barred" means: too late to start any action?

  -> yes you are right, it's about being time-barred by the law applicable to auctions, not statute of limitations
