When is the deadline for action founded on a deed?
The catalogue records a 12 years period from the date when the cause of action first accrues to the plaintiff or to a person through whom the plaintiff claims. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 12 years
- Trigger
- the date when the cause of action first accrues to the plaintiff or to a person through whom the plaintiff claims
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Limitation Act 1985 (ACT) pt 3 postponements: s 30 (disability), s 32 (confirmation), s 33 (fraud and concealment), s 34 (mistake).
- Added on verification: omitted from the researched catalogue, which carried the 6-year general period in s 11 but not the 12-year deed period that displaces it under s 11 (2). Whether an instrument is executed as a deed or under hand doubles the period and is a common source of error.
