When is the deadline for court-ordered extension of the defamation limitation period?
The catalogue records a 3 years period from The date of the alleged publication of the matter. 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 alleged publication of the matter
- 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.
- This entry IS the discretion. The court must have regard to all the circumstances and in particular the length of and reasons for the delay, the day facts became known and whether the plaintiff acted promptly and reasonably, and the extent to which relevant evidence is likely to be unavailable or less cogent (s 32A(3)). An order or application may be made even though the limitation period has already ended (s 32A(4)). Never compute a 3-year defamation deadline as if it applied by default; the default is 1 year under s 10AA(1).
