When is the deadline for limitation: action for defamation?
The catalogue records a 1 year period from The date of the publication of the matter complained of. 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
- 1 year
- Trigger
- The date of the publication of the matter complained of
- 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.
- Court extension under s 23B. Automatic extension where a concerns notice is given in the last 56 days: see s 5(1AAB) and (1AAC).
- For electronic publication, 'date of publication' is the day the matter was first uploaded for access or sent electronically to a recipient (s 5(1AAD)). The single publication rule in s 5A also affects the accrual date.
