When is the deadline for limitation - action under the compensation (fatal injuries) act 1974?
The catalogue records a 3 years period from The date of the death. 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
- 3 years
- Trigger
- The date of the death
- 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, which by s 44(7) expressly extends to Compensation (Fatal Injuries) Act actions even where the period expired before the commencement of the Limitation Act or before the application is made.
- Runs from the DATE OF DEATH, not from the date of the injury or from the grant of representation. Expressly carved out of the general 3-year contract and tort period by s 12(2)(c). Where the death arose from child abuse, s 5A(4)(a) removes the limitation period entirely.
