When is the deadline for limitation - notice requiring a parent or guardian to bring an infant's action?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from The date of service of the notice on the parent or guardian. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- The date of service of the notice on the parent or guardian
- 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.
- Non-compliance does not itself bar the infant; it entitles the putative defendant to apply for an order appointing the Public Trustee as the infant's tutor (s 39(2)).
- A defendant-side device for forcing an infant's claim on. The notice must comply with s 40 (in writing, identifying the incidents and the person under disability, warning that the cause of action is liable to be barred, and it is neither an admission nor a confirmation) and must be served in accordance with the Supreme Court Rules relating to service of originating process (s 40(2)).
