168	22	II.A.3. Post-lawsuit assignments cannot trigger § 16.069	The purpose of § 16.069 is to prevent tactical delay of lawsuits until an adversary's counterclaim grows stale. Pohl could not have intended to avoid limitations because Kassab did not receive the Assignments until after Pohl filed suit. Citing Ball v. SBC Communications, courts have limited § 16.069's reach based on the Code Construction Act, considering the statute's object, purpose, consequences, and public interest. Allowing post-lawsuit assignments to trigger § 16.069 would frustrate its purpose.
