When is the deadline for limitation - enforce an arbitrator's award in any other case?
The catalogue records a 3 years period from The date on which the right to enforce the award first accrued, being the date on which default first happens in observance of the award (s 18(3)). 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
- 3 years
- Trigger
- The date on which the right to enforce the award first accrued, being the date on which default first happens in observance of the award (s 18(3))
- 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.
- Applies where the arbitration agreement was not made by deed. Sections 45 to 48 contain further arbitration-specific provisions, including s 48 on the date of commencement of an arbitration. Corrected on verification: as with s 18(2)(a), the researcher's quotation dropped the opening words of s 18(2) confining it to an arbitration agreement constituted by an Act or an instrument of a legislative or administrative character and making it subject to the provisions of that Act or instrument. The full opening is now quoted from the Limitation Act 1981 (NT) as in force at 11 August 2025 (legislation.nt.gov.au). The 3-year period is unchanged and coincides with the s 12(1)(a) contract period, so the computed date is unaffected.
