When is the deadline for limitation period: successive conversion or wrongful detention of a chattel?
The catalogue records a 6 years period from The accrual of the cause of action in respect of the original conversion or detention. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

- Successive conversions do not restart time. On expiry the owner's title is extinguished as against a bona fide purchaser, mortgagee or other person having a title or interest for value (s 12(2)). Corrected on verification: the researched entry was named as though s 12(1) set the general limitation period for conversion. It does not. The section heading is 'Actions in cases of successive conversions and extinction of title of owners of converted goods', and s 12(1) governs only a FURTHER conversion or detention occurring before the owner recovers possession, running 6 years from the accrual of the cause of action on the ORIGINAL conversion. A first conversion takes its 6 years from s 10(1)(a) as a tort. Source: Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (Qld) s 12, legislation.qld.gov.au current reprint.
