When is the deadline for limitation period: specialty, bond, deed, judgment or recognisance?
The catalogue records a 15 years period from Accrual of the cause of action, or the recovery of the judgment. 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
- 15 years
- Trigger
- Accrual of the cause of action, or the recovery of the judgment
- 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 of Actions Act 1936 (SA) s 48 (restricted gateways in s 48(3)(b)); s 45 (legal disability, 30-year cap).
- FIFTEEN years in SA, not the 12 years common in other Australian jurisdictions. Acknowledgment in writing, or part payment or part satisfaction, restarts a fresh 15-year period. Note the separate and much shorter court-rules limit on ENFORCEMENT: UCR r 201.5(1) bars issue of an enforcement process more than 6 years after the date of the judgment unless the Court otherwise orders.
