In the actions specified in Article
XIII of this Act or any other act or contract where the time for commencing an

in arrest of judgment, the judgment is entered against the plaintiff, or the

Court for lack of jurisdiction, or the action is dismissed by a United States
District Court for improper venue, then, whether or not the time limitation for

his or her heirs, executors or administrators may commence a new
