When is the deadline for limitation - action to recover moneys due under a judgment?
The catalogue records a 12 years period from The date on which the judgment first becomes enforceable. 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 on which the judgment first becomes enforceable
- 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 1981 (NT) s 44, on the s 44(3)(b) gateways.
- Runs from when the judgment first becomes ENFORCEABLE, not from when it was given. For a judgment of a court outside the Territory (other than a Commonwealth court), s 15(2) fixes the date as when the judgment first becomes enforceable in the place where it was given. Distinguish the shorter 6-year threshold in SCR r 68.02(1)(a) after which leave is needed to issue a warrant of execution.
