When is the deadline for action to enforce a claim or lien against a vessel for damage, loss or personal injury?
The catalogue records a 2 years period from the date when the damage, loss or injury is caused. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
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
- 2 years
- Trigger
- the date when the damage, loss or injury is caused
- 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) s 19 (3) (a): the court may extend the period to such an extent and on the terms it considers appropriate; s 19 (3) (b) requires an extension where there has not been a reasonable opportunity of arresting the defendant vessel. Section 30 (1) (e) gives a shorter, 2-year, disability extension for s 19 causes of action.
- Added on verification: omitted from the researched catalogue. Section 19 (2) applies a parallel 2-year period, running from the date the salvage services are rendered, to an action to enforce a claim or lien in relation to salvage services.
