When is the deadline for limitation: actions founded on simple contract or on tort?
The catalogue records a 6 years period from The date on which the cause of action accrued. 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

- 6 years
- Trigger
- The date on which the cause of action accrued
