Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 2 years
- Trigger
- The date on which the right of action to recover contribution first accrued, as fixed by s 24(2)
- 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.
- Accrual is defined by s 24(2): the date judgment is given or the arbitral award made (whether or not the judgment is later varied as to quantum), or, where there is no judgment or award, the date of the agreement fixing the amount of the claimant's liability. Expressly carved out of the general 3-year period by s 12(2)(d). Must be read with the 4-year limb in s 24(1)(b): the action is barred on the FIRST of the two to expire.
