When is the deadline for limitation - admiralty claim or lien for damage or loss caused by the fault of a vessel?
The catalogue records a 2 years period from The date when the damage, loss or injury was 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 was 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.
- The court "may extend the limitation period referred to in subsection (3) or (4) to such an extent and on such terms as it thinks fit" (s 20(5)(a)). This is an at-large power, materially wider than the s 44 gateways.
- Sections 12 to 20 otherwise do not apply to a cause of action in rem in Admiralty, save that s 12(1)(a) extends to an action to recover a seaman's wages (s 20(2)).
